I'll have to amend some of my comments in post #5. While the divers do go into places they probably should not (especially since this was a 'check out dive of sort), some of the dive footage is in fairly simple swim-throughs. I did a double dip on the Duane this weekend with an experienced local who showed me a couple of swim-throughs I didn't know about. The video camera shakes around quite a bit and the divers kick up a lot of crap and that makes a couple of the sequences look like they take place in areas that are truly treacherous but are just somewhat long swim-throughs. I believe that they do go into a couple of spots that are not swim-throughs though, which is not smart.
The longish swim-throughs I was introduced to a few days ago are probably not a good spot for newbies or folks on a check out dives but not quite as crazy as I first thought when I watched some of the sequences in the video
