Videos of the week!

  • Tiger Beach, Bahamas 2011
Here is one for you if you love Lemon and Tiger Sharks up close. Frazier Nivens and Ocean Imaging recoded this at Tiger Beach, Bahamas. The video was orginally show with a RED CineX and then converted to H264 720HD. I would love to see the original video.
Thanks go out to Scotty Gray for recommending this video. “Great footage from a great bucket list dive. Tiger Beach Bahamas.”
  • Skyfall Videoblog “Underwater”
Here is a behind the scenes video for the new James Bond Movie Skyfall. They are not a sponser but we would be happy to take a bucket of money. This could be the best movie for a underwater scuba fight action since Thunderball.

After a long weekend of diving Mac, Jim and Darrin talk about diving some more. Summer may be mostly over but still plenty of scuba diving yet to do. Jim is now up north doing more diving. We wish we were their with him. Maybe the bad scuba joke will hold us over for another week.

Big ClamAfter a second week of internet challenges we had to punt and invited "Mac" and Rich Synowiec on the program. We threw out the play book and just talked about anything that came to mind. Mac make it through the first two internet drops and then called it a night. We continued for a while longer. The audio quality wasn't quite up to standards, but we thought you might find it interesting. We thank you for listening!
