PC Bridge Span 14 video

CW2008 · Sep 4, 2009

Here is another video we posted on Youtube made with a homemade housing. Much of the video is of Goliaths with the other usuals. Dove with Dive Locker aboard Narcosis on 8/29 on Bridge Span 14.
YouTube - Goliath Grouper at Bridge Span #14 Panama City, FL

Wonderful video. Is the Goliath group always there? Next time I go down, I want to dive that site just to see it.

We saw 2 at one time, so I assumed there were only two. They haven't been too hard to see this year at other places either. The visibility is so clear - it sure helps improve your chances. These guys were all over the bridge with us this day. Even with 18 divers in the water they didn't run for cover. I've only been diving for one year, so I think that I may be a little spoiled after this year.

He wasnt there two weekends ago.....

but there was one about the same exact size on Bridge Span #12 where the road bed lifted up. He swam in/out of that hole some, but really didn't get out and cruise around like that one did.

to the OP, Really nice video

What's the music in the video? My hubby likes it and wants to download it.

CW2008 · Sep 5, 2009

The song is "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes.

Great vid CW2008. I especially like the moon jelly shot at the end.

I love diving bridge spans, and goliath sightings too! Those guys are friskier than the ones I've encountered, but I always see them in ones.

Great video, verging on being artistic. Excellent visibility with lots of ambient light. Is this place fairly shallow?

CW2008 · Sep 5, 2009

Thanks. My max depth was 73 ft. Visibility has been great in the gulf this summer - no storms (not counting Claudette) to stir it up certainly helps. Of course the ambient light was much better near the top of the bridge span above 50 or so feet.
