Nice quality.

Beats the heck out of anything Ive seen on youtube.

Thanks for postiog it. Ide actually love to do a dive off the lighthouse as the vis may be just as goos as that area is well flushed with heavy white sand and plenty of rocks.

That's a nice video. Viz looks good and there's quite a bit of structure left to the wreck. Could you give me the particulars...max depth, current, surge, distance from land, is it a single tank dive...that sort of thing. Just like to know if it's w/i my training/experience level. Thanks.

It is a fairly easy dive. Max depth is about 50 ft, although most of the wreck is shallower. Ed and I both used single tanks.

The main issue with that site is the current. You need to do it at slack water, the current really tears through there once the tide starts going. Typically we go out there a bit ahead of slack, tie in and then just wait for the current to back off enough to start the dive.

It is about 0.5 nm off of Watch Hill, on the west side of Watch Hill reef. There is a pretty nice description of it in Gary Gentile's Shipwrecks of RI and CT book.

Nice! The soundtrack really captures the serious nature of our little gang too.

That line-up of all the divers at the start cracks me up though, it makes Ed and I look like giants (notwithstanding the fact that Ed was standing on his tip toes). Oh wait... Ed and I are giants.... nevermind....

P.S

Can wait to go diving.Unfortunately I do not own dry suit....so gotta a wait.

Hey Bill,

The video rocks. I did check your other videos....you are going to be the serious contender for my new video setup.

It is incredible what that little camera can do. Wonder if I should not have bought a heavy Gates !! ....How did you edit?
