Caught the high tide this morning. Vis around 15-20 feet. Not many crabs, but tons of fish.

few more

Very Cool!

So did you bag any of them goodies?

The vis looks great. I figured after all that rain yesterday that it would be murky.

Very nice!

I figured Vis would be crap but looks just the reverse & I had plans to look for teeth . Adam if you go anytine this week please call me...
5 more days till off to Maryland yea,... NOT !!!!:( COLD

I havent dove there in years. Looks like the viz was awesome. Lots of life. Im sure it made for a great dive.

Great pics. Ive fished there a hundred times but always wondered what it looked like down there. Awesome.
Got to be a lot of fishing line in there. A buddy of mine there said his dive buddy had a half a big tarpon drift by him under there...still wiggling. :eek:

Great pics babe.....I call pic #2 the "Hey you......Come here for a min..." pic

nice pixs

Very cool pics. When you dive there are you sightseeing, or killing?

Just sightseeing on that dive, and looking for stone crabs. I have never speared there, although I know people do. You could probably do o.k. there on sheepsheads and smaller mangs.

I'm being lazy here because I could probably search through a bunch of threads and find my answer, but anyway... I was wondering what kind of video set up you are using. I LOVE viewing the videos. My girlfriend loves to dive, but just isn't very interested in hunting fish. She has done a little underwater point and shoot photography using her camera in a housing. She digs that. I'm sure it ain't cheap, but I'm thinking of getting her some video gear. That way we can both dive. She can shoot video and I can shoot fish. Thanks again for the info. (And keep the videos coming. They're awesome. Hopefully I can contribute some soon.)

I'll do my best, but honestly my video equipment is about 5 years old and therefore by todays electronics standards already "outdated", and I'm definitely not an expert. There are people here that know a Lot more about video gear than me.
Fishkilla, aka Ben, is a video Ninja and could probably answer this better. Another great source of knowledge would be Mike down at Ocean Images in Cape Coral, www.oceanimagesinc.com . They can really get you into an affordable housing and recomend a good camera also.
Last time I talked to Mike he was telling me about a Sony HC camera coupled with their HC housing.
I have a Hitachi DVD cam with the dolphin pro housing. One nice thing, when I buy a new camera, Ocean Images can retro-fit my housing to accept a huge variety of new cameras. That's important to me. You don't want to buy a new housing every time you upgrade or change cameras!!

:corkysm60: Cool pics! I tried taking pictures before & mine never looked like that.

Adam, have you checked out "The Wetter the Better" in Punta Gorda? They just opened last month, and the owner is big into underwater video. He had some nifty looking video cameras, but I don't know anything about them.

I haven't been in there yet. I plan on checking them out soon though. Sounds intersting. I would love to upgrade to a higher quality camera, but extra funds are a little short right now.
Most dive shops want to sell you a package deal, where the housing is dedicated to only one model of camera, and if the camera breaks and is no longer made, you are stuck with a useless housing. I know a guy with several expensive U/W housings that are worthless because they can't be re-fitted to a new camera.
Heard you guys dived some dry suits in the springs last week:circle:

Whats the depth there?

Whats the depth there?

10-15 feet at the row of pilings closest to the shore, 45 fsw out at the end of the pier by the large boat bumper

I think you will find that's the case here with these housings (proprietary), but he has several used ones that looked like they were priced well.

Most of the team went dry last week (it was, after all, a DUI seminar), but I broke my thumb two weeks ago, and couldn't get the wrist seal over it, so I went wet.

Thanks for the help!
