Mike’s Reef<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Thoughts:<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Wow, the first dive went well. There is a small link where the inflation hose meets the Zeagle Covert BCD<\/a>.   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.<\/p>\n

GEAR UPDATE:
\nI am diving with the DJI Action Pro 5<\/a> 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<\/a> 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.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
