Thoughts:

Wow, the first dive went well. There is a small link where the inflation hose meets the Zeagle Covert BCD. So will have to take a look at that tonight when I get back. This dive site is one of my favorites. You have two fairly intact wrecks and small coral reef in the same area. To be fair, I spent all of my time getting to know my two old friends, and did not go over to the reef this time. So if wrecks are not your thing – don’t look at the photos… Just kidding, I got some other photos as well. The vis seemed to have cleared up a little. I hadn’t noticed it until I saw one of the photos and you can see the other wreck behind the first one. Again, it was good to be back. I did a lot of video on this dive and I can’t wait to see the footage from this dive. We will post it here when it’s edited.

GEAR UPDATE:
I am diving with the DJI Action Pro 5 for the first time. So there is no external lighting. I have been using the camera for my interviews and aircraft walk-arounds for about a year now, but haven’t had the chance to test it at depth. It was bugging me as it has a dive photo option. It says it has a IP68 rating for 20m underwater use, but I chose to put it in this case just to be safe. The links go Amazon and we get paid a small commission if you choose to buy one. I will keep you posted on my thoughts.
