    This is the kind of thing you dream about as a kid, when you're in the swimming pool with goggles on. I grew up wanting to be a wildlife photographer. All the cool places they get to see and they get to be right in the middle of it all.

      Yeah, I had a Hollis SMS too and it was terrible. The design was such that when you added air, it got tighter. So I had to constantly readjust it as I changed the amount of air in it. the XDEEP is really awesome. And I ordered it right from the manufacturer so they embroidered my name on it!! So cool.

    The ride out of the first cave on the tide must be amazing. How close to the slack tide were you?

    • @BlueWorldTV
      @BlueWorldTV  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah we were well aware of the leaking O-ring on Zach's valve. But we had no other tanks on the boat. We were pretty darned close to the slack. We went in just after slack so there was a little bit of current coming out. By the time we turned around, it was pushing fast enough to give us a ride. The thing is that getting back out takes almost no time and you realize you should have stayed longer. If we were more familiar with the dive and the current, we would be able to go much further in.

    Let us exhume the Great Exuma to see the walls, fish, and current of invite or not. In this Blue World rushing by us and seeing beauty underneath. Commence,great story teller of the Sea. I wish I could join you!! But 1968 stop that. The was water was deep, when I jump from the 2 tier. Darkness announced to my eye lids, saying that this was a deep dive.Along with the water becoming colder. Then with out warning weeds from the bottom attack me. Saying come closer for we are hungry. Still eyes closed I darted for the surface to escape the monsters. Bang I ran into one of the barrels that keeps the dock afloat. I open my eyes to see where I was and it was still very dark except for slivers of light. Now I was panicking, because I had to go under water again to clear the bottom side of the dock. I made it. From that point on swimming would always be a fear, the weeds and depth. If I had been wearing goggles with light, what dark unknown things might have been their. I shudder when I think on it. But Jonathan you have made it less in fear of these things.
