    Why Dive the Oceans...?

    Less than 48 Hours ago, I shot this video on the USS Tarpon, a WW II Submarine in 140 FT of water 30 miles southeast of Hatteras Island, North Carolina.



    The camera couldn't capture the REAL visibility using only natural light. It was like swimming in blue glass. Truly spectacular...

    Great video. The east side has been the recipient of some nice blue water over the past week or two. Atlas visibility has been as good as I have seen it since the late 1980's.
    be safe

    Fantastic, Drewski! Makes a "Texas Swamp Diver" like me ready to make the trip and head for some blue water again. Thanks for providing the incentive!

    To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.

    Impressive, and I just there on a business trip a few days ago. Man That is cool
    Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."

    That video gives a nice feeling of weightlessness and calm! Must have been very peaceful having such beautiful conditions. Thanks!

    Very cool!

    Although, when I first saw your topic title, my thought was, "Why dive the ocean? Because trying to dive desert sand isn't nearly as much fun!"
