WKPP April/May Updates

true · May 30th, 2006, 11:23 PM

In addition to Casey's dive reports, I've just added photo galleries for the April Chip's Hole dive and two of the last three Wakulla weekends:

Excellent photos by Sonya Tittle and David Rhea throughout all of the galleries. The report and photos for the May 20 exploration dive will be posted soon.

Best,

Anthony

Hi Anthony,

I notice on some of the Wakulla photos that you guys were using scooter mounted video cameras, What do you use to attach the cameras to the scooters?

Thanks

That is a Sony FX-1 in an amphibico housing. Halcyon's production manager Steve Pulliam modified a bunch of parts from around the factory to build that before the May 6 dives. I believe that he started with one of the original scooter mounts that we built for the old Halcyon housing seven or eight years ago.

Are those mounts "available", or were they custom jobs for the project?

Thanks

Phil,

Which shot? Because of the frame set, the URL doesn't come up with a specific photo.

Awsome photos Anthony.

So, How many bottles can a WKPP Diver carry out? It looks like Casey is way past 10 and heading to the high teens.

Keep on stacking them on until the scooter can no longer pull...
