St Pedro freedive.

New to the forums. Its a pretty large forum and not sure the best place to post this was. So I double posted

All of Janurary my dive buddy paul and I have been diving St. Pedro wreck In hopes of getting some great photos of a freediver and the submarine. Getting the shots turned out to be harder than expected as The submarine passes the wreck once every 45+ min. The first couple trips out there we were trying to play it by site and dive down to the bottom when we saw the sub comming twds us. That worked out very poorly as neither of us where prepared for a deep dive so suddenly. On the third trip out we decided just to hang out on the boat and time the tour, directions, stops, how long it takes to turn around ect, and plan out our dive plans. That helped us greatly.


floor bottom is 87', tip of wreck is 56' longest dive was 2:26.

Cool shots! Are you on the Hawaii Skin Diver forum, too?

 

[scuberd]

cool shots, I remember seeing you guys out there. Be careful though, the subs move up and down suddenly and you never know when they might stop or change directions.

Yes, fancy camera...

Look for a full-page photo by Derek B taken from that day to appear in the new issue of Hawaii Skin Diver. It will be the "One Breath" photo near the back of the magazine.
