This is an adaptive scuba trip for younger people with physical challenges and disabilities. Some of our divers, as seen here, require some external assistance to get through the water safely.

"color will attract danger ? ?".... LOLOL, nah

@@TANTRUMGASM never heard of chromatic underwater peril?

@@tomdeu79 Well, I haven't (not a diver), so you're more than welcome to explain.

@@Skivsamlaren This phenomenon has been described as complementary chromatic adaptation.

@@tomdeu79 lol, nah, blue does not "attract danger" lol you made it all up! ..lol you can't explain how the color blue "attracts danger" can you. what "danger" does blue attract? lolol

Part of what makes this quarry so beautiful is the high volume of water entering the quarry. Imagine a sink thats over flowing. because of this, the water in the quarry is all relatively "fresh" from the underground spring that feeds the quarry. That being said, there are relatively low amounts of metal oxides in the water. A lot of the attractions are stripped down to their non corrosive elements however there are a few items still rusting away at the bottom. Such a beautiful quarry and the new owners of the place really know how to take carte of it.

Edgar! This gonna be you soon!

This is in cozumel. An island just off the south east cost of the Yucatán peninsula in Mexico. The name of the wreck is “C-53”. It is accessible to most dive operators on the island

Looks like it 😂

I'm using 2 GoPro 11's for these recordings. I mount a gopro 11 mini to my mask and use a hero 11 black for the hand held shots. The vertical shots are done by just turning the handheld camera to the side. The camera will automatically adjust the orientation. When I am editing the 2 cameras together, I use the audio waveform to line up the 2 videos so they are in sync. If you are going to run this kind of setup just a heads up that in warm water, the mask mounted camera will over heat if you do not lower the resolution.

@@divemasterzach34705 That's awesome, thank you so much for sharing. I think I will consider going for a similar setup. Two questions that came up are 1) Is the gopro on the mask affecting your dive experience? Because I can imagine the weight on the mask maybe being intrusive or annoying - potentially causing leaks etc 2) What happens if the gopro mini overheats? Does it break or shut itself off or? Thanks again for your answer, I appreciate it

@@bartsprenkels6779 There are a few things to consider with having this sort of setup. I will say with a traditional mask you can defiantly tell that the camera is there, however it doesn't take too long to get used to it. I'll recommend a larger profile mask to better distribute the weight of the camera on your face. Wearing the mask strap further up on the back of your head will stop the camera from pulling your mask off your face. Personally I am using an OTS Guardian full face mask that is secured to my head via a 5 point harness and with this I do not even notice the camera at all. Diving in warm water, the hero 11 mini will over heat if you do not lower the resolution down to 1080p. when the camera over heats it gives off a long beep before powering down. It will save all of your footage up until when it gets too hot. But I haven't had too many issues with over heating at lower resolutions in warm water. There are no such issues when diving in cold water. you get about 90 minutes of recording in 4k60fps when the camera doesn't over heat. typically the water needs to be cooler than 65F to avoid over heating in 4k resolution. the last thing ill tell you (and I really should charge money for this info 😂) is set your white balance manually. between 4500-6000k. ( I leave mine set to 5500k almost all the time for tropical water) the auto white balance feature will cause the camera to adjust the WB constantly which will cause your footage to switch between vibrant colors and monochrome blue. setting the WB manually will avoid the colors changing so much for no reason. But other than that you're just going to just try different things. Its taken me 3 years of trying different things to really get high quality video such as this. But this should be a good starting point for you and if you have any other questions you can reach out to me here or on my instagram @Divemaster_Zach

You don’t really feel claustrophobic. You can swim wherever you want. Except to the surface. For the most part having a rope attached to you that someone is holding on to puts any anxiety to rest. And on top of that You can actually talk to the people on the surface as well. Knowing all the safety measures are in place really makes the experience enjoyable more than anything.

check out the multiple different playlists I have to different locations. They all follow this same format!

This is an AMAZING time to go! The diving is just totally unreal this time of year!

I’m diving a full face mask. What you’re hearing is air coming through the ambient breathing valve. I close the ABV when it’s time to go down. And if you notice I still out breathe the entire group.

That is correct. A lot of the Caribbean is suffering from some degree of bleaching. However many steps are being taken to aid in the recovery of the reefs in the years to come.

Santa Rosa wall

I believe it’s La Francesa or Santa Rosa wall. But to see Eagle Rays you need to go between November and march

I was using an aluminum 80cf tank. Pretty standard for resort diving. Still enough for upwards of an hour

GoPro 11 mini on my mask, then a GoPro 11 black as my hand held camera.

Dogs name is Deco

It is very important to know where you are in the wreck, its not always easy to know where you are especially when you stir up the silt. With this particular wreck, it is a barge that flipped up side down meaning that when you swim "inside" you are actually swimming down to the platform where the workers worked on the dredge. imagine your house flipped upside down and the ceiling is the floor. that's what this wreck is like. That being said the entire bottom of the wreck is open meaning that when you want to swim out you just drop down to the bottom and swim out. its also an easy way to orient yourself from the inside, kind of like looking out a window. from the inside, you can sort of see outside and you can use that as a reference to know where you are in the wreck. as far as the tide bottle goes, it's actually used primarily as a float to keep the rope we tie the ship to at the surface of the water and so we can see it from a distance as we are arriving at the wreck.

@@divemasterzach34705Thanks Zach, your explanation is so clear to me (your GiGi who loves you very much.). You are teaching me things I know only because of you. Xxxxxoooo

If you know where to look they stick out like a sore thumb. After all the time I've spent in lake Michigan I'm starting get a feel for how the fish think.

Yes we do! We offer classes through DJ's Scuba Locker in Brookfield IL and I also personally do tours of both local and exotic scuba diving locations for certified divers.

@@divemasterzach34705 your contact is your instagram I suppose? No email? Any website describing what I will need to rent.. etc? (Amateur questions -> My first time)

Love seeing what god puts in the water for us to see! We are so lucky to have such beautiful creatures on this earth!

I have heard Cozumel has more of a drift than Bonaire. Bonaire is known for shore diving and Cozumel is known for drift diving. I highly recommend checking out Cozumel. I stay at either Iberostar Cozumel or Scuba Club Cozumel. Both are fantastic operations.

This was with Dressel Divers at Iberostar Cozumel. I highly recommend them.

I am so glad you enjoy it! I know they are kind of long so I will start putting markers where all the highlights are!
