Air gun and blackwater diving

[MaxBottomtime]

We returned from a nearly month-long trip to Crystal Blue Resort in the Philippines with a couple of modification ideas. I added an air nozzle to blow off water from our camera housings after diving. We always struggled to get a towel in the hard-to-reach places. I also bought a 300-watt, 30,000-lumen green fishing light so we can make blackwater dives from our own boat. I added a second house battery and wired them in parallel to have plenty of burn time with the light. Now all we need are decent dive conditions to try out the new toys.

Isn't the water green already?

I read that green attracts plankton better than blue or white light, and extends into the water farther than blue or white light.

I keep an air-gun in my save-a-dive kit, it comes in useful randomly! I also added a tire-fill-adapter recently.

We tried the light in our slip. It's brighter than I expected. Even in dirty harbor water, the light was over thirty feet in every direction.
