    Default Cave Recon / Exploration Video

    Hi Guys,

    I had a little time last night, so I put together a video of different caves and systems that we dove in the Bahamas during our 2006 cave exploration Documentary shoot.

    I have a HIREZ version that I can put on FTP is anyone's interested.

    The scooter shot at the end, is entering a sea cave against the outgoing tide. Very similar to the Eye at Ginnie. High FLoooooooooooowww....

    Other than the blue hole, The names of the caves and systems shall remain secret. I don't want anyone going down there, and sidemounting through a hole at 340' and destroying it. Oh, and I left the maps out because some people just can't deal with stick drawings on videos! ( You know who you are!! )

    For everyone else,

    Enjoy..

    LINK WILL BE REPOSTED IN ANOTHER THREAD.

    Nice Video.... Looks like you had some good cavediving fun on that trip.

    [tongue in cheek]

    It's to bad you documented the fact that you cause silt in the cave. Thus you have damaged that cave and should be beaten with a wet noodle.

    I mean come on... especially when you shoved your hand in that precious organic silt and shook it in a manner that would make a bowl of jell-o feel jealous.

    Actually that's a bacterial biomass. And it's much better with Tarter Sauce and Chopsticks.

    Hi Everyone,

    I regret to inform you that I have had to pull the video temporarely, while I work out some of the details specific to certain shots. I will repost it once these changes are finalized.

    Sorry for any inconvenience.

    From another thread.

    You mean they get a video of themselves posted on the internet. Then half the peanut gallery complains about their trim, their cave training and their cave instructors....

    Ok everyone,

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gvreD-uMWI

    The Cave Recon video has been reposted. Due to other television projects being produced cuncurrently, I was asked by a very good friend to replace some of the footage, so as not to cause friction between different entities.

    I felt that changing some shots was the right thing to do. I consider my established friendships much more important than a few shots on a video.

    In any case, the Video is back up, I hope you guys like it. If you like it, rate it. If you don't like the Hair metal (sorry Andrew ), then you can just turn the little knob/slider down on your 'Puters.

    Safe diving everyone
