Dive video I shot from up island
 

Ahoy, I used to be much more present on this board quite a while ago but having now taken down all my tanks I have faded off into the crowd. I just had a recent desire to perhaps make a nano so I came back here and thought that some of you may also like a look at what our local BC waters have to offer for colour and life. Maybe some day in the future I will start another coldwater tank, but probably not until I am done school. Hope you enjoy the video, it is by no means professional and if you have any tips or pointers to make my next one better by all means I would like to hear it/them. You won't hurt my feelings.

After the disclaimer I was expecting something I'd shoot not that incredible piece! Amazes me that the cold stuff is just as fascinating... maybe even more so as most of us will never experience this stuff firsthand due to temperatures.

Agreed. This is a great video and looks like some excellent dive sites and conditions. Well done!

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing.:biggrin:

Agreed, thanks for sharing.
I especially liked the subtitles, telling us what everything was.

I loved seeing pictures of your coldwater tank. Good luck with school, hope you'll be back at it soon enough!

And I agree with the others ... that video was top shelf. And your other vids too! Nice work! I'm very jealous of your guy's playground over there. I've tried snorkeling in the Elbow River here in town and it's just not the same.

NICE!!!
I think you just sold me on doing some cold water diving.

Great video! Thank you for sharing.

Nice video. Thanks. That chiton can go in this month's POTM. :)

Extremely cool. Thanks for sharing. The juv. Puget Sound King crab is so beautiful, unlike its adult form.

very cool!

Awesome Videos! Thanks for sharing them. Never heard of a Ratfish before kinda cool.

Nice job! We sometimes forget how much our waters have to offer.

Most thing are cuter as babies. Even I was cute when I was little and then.................. I got old and yikes! :lol:

Very nice. I havnt been out diving in 2 months and this just makes me want to get out more. :)

Thanks for the kind words/replies. I love diving in our waters here. So much in the way of micro to macro life to be seen. Diving in the waters here is much more enjoyable in a drysuit than a wetsuit. You feel less like you are going to freeze to death at the bottom of the ocean. Videography is something I decided to pick up with money I made off parting out one of my landcruisers. This september I am thinking of starting up a nano tank with some softies and a frogfish or something. Hopefully...
