Another great video. Thanks. Yes I'm also liking the dive map, nice feature. We sometimes dive what we call Black Las Cove as a second dive, especially on windy days as you get a bit of shelter 🙂 . Vis is terrible at the moment. I was up diving the Sound of Mull wrecks at the weekend and vis was awful. Keep up the good work. 👍
Thanks for that. The diagram was an attempt to make up for some inferior footage! As for the name I assume Black lass cove is a translation from the Gaelic Toll Nighinn Duibhe though some of the online translations are a bit dubious. Gordon Ridley's(1984) book Dive West Scotland has the dive site listed as 302: Just North of Black lass cove. That's a shame about the vis. in the S of Mull. I've not been up there since 2018 when we did the Thesis and the Hispania.
I agree, the graphics are very neat. Shame about the visibility but the map really does help give you an idea of where you are. I also appreciated the travelling map at the beginning for the same reason. Been enjoying your videos. Quite relaxing and interesting at the same time.
The visibility was pretty bad and the camera angle did not show much of the reef so the diagram helped to make up for that. Glad your enjoying my videos.
Love this dive, I usually go the opposite way - left as you enter. Nice stepped wall down with to 30m with lots of life. Had a seal follow me here before also. Dive it from Lachlan bay in my 2.8m sib fairly regularly. Great video 👍
Thanks Peter, I've been diving this site for years and never thought to go left out of the bay. We've thought about checking further North but never got round to it. I'll maybe check it out next time were down. Yeah there's loads of wildlife there, we had an otter in the bay as we kitted up but it disappeared when we got in the water. We used to launch at Lachlan bay but stopped using it for various reasons, we now tend to favour Strachur and Minard.
Hi mate, really enjoying the videos. Always great to see the water from a different perspective. Would you not consider putting some bait out and filming it? (just bait no hooks ofcourse) It would be interesting to watch from a viewers point. 🙌
Thanks, glad you like them. I've thought about using bait but you'd have to leave the camera and then come back for it later. We don't usually have a lot of time to hang around. The other option is using a drop camera from a boat. Still it's an interesting idea and might give it a go.
I love that layover with your icon on the 3D map! That's an awesome added touch. I wish we had that kind of imagery over here. How are you doing that if you mind me asking?
I'm glad you like the overlay. I'm told people become fixated with the red dot. Anyway I use Davinci resolve for my video editing and use a fusion composition to move the red dot on a path over an image, I just pick key points and it moves it at a pace to get to the next point on time. The image is just a photo-shopped drone still that my son did for me based on a rough sketch. The full image turned out to be too busy to see when small so I zoomed in and followed the dot using key frames to create a moving window. Hope this helps.
@@scubabc6701 I think it was elements from various videos, but I think the basic idea came from a Casey Faris tutorial here th-cam.com/video/QV8hQ32X6as/w-d-xo.html. The red dot is actually a polygon path where I key frame the position with a very short length. I use the same technique for the opening map but keep the length.

@@diveclyde Thanks, that is super cool. I might try to do that one of these days. Was there any specific fusion tutorial you found helpful for this?
