      I would make a guess to say you were piloting the drone.

    • @davbear3947
      @davbear3947 4 месяца назад

      Sailing. Piloting refers to directing the boat, and a sub is still technically a boat. If its not submerged it plys as a ship does.

    • @davbear3947
      @davbear3947 4 месяца назад

      Actually piloting or sailing are probably interchangeable here, research needed?

    I'm so glad I saw this video. We lived in FL when I was a kid, late 50s early 60s. My dad and his friends liked to scuba dive in Morrison springs. I remember being afraid to jump out of the row boat when we were over the drop off. The divers appeared like those little army men my brother played with. And yes, that was cold water. There was a small, mostly undeveloped "resort" there. I remember the drive in being a weird bridge like road, at least in places. There were snapping turtles and geese there. I wish you had your drone swim out over the drop off, but a very cool video. My dad is now 97 and I have saved this video to show him. Thanks for sparking the memories.

    We used a drone in a pump house at a steel mill because it wasn’t safe to use a diver and we lost the drone to a 40,000 gallon a minute pump. The office was pissed because we used the drone instead of a diver. Seems the drone was more valuable to them than us.

      @theodoregarver494 7 месяцев назад +39

      I know of an occurance of the loss of a diver at a pulp mill. If I remember correctly the plant drawings had not been updated correctly so the pump was left on while he was diving. Industrial accidents with loss of life are very serious, it is a good thing only a drone was lost in your case.

    • @User-yy6xt
      @User-yy6xt 7 месяцев назад +20

      @@theodoregarver494 Yeah they are and expensive. A drone is a lot cheaper than losing a diver but bean counters don’t think about that. There was a case on Lake Michigan where a diver was trapped in an intake and they wouldn’t shut off the pumps because it would cost too much to do that so they let him die. The only smart way to dive in intakes is do it when you can shut everything off or don’t go it at all.

      I was doing a dive with a buddy at Lake Ouachita in Arkansas and came upon a huge largemouth hanging out between two rocks waiting on something. Ouachita fish don't seem too scared of bubble spouting divers and we got close enough before she gave way that I could see she absolutely as long as my arm from my 6'4" wide receiver elbow to extended hand and she was fat. She was at least 9lbs.

    Thanks for sharing; beautiful water, great shots of the fish.
    69F room temperature dry, warm; 69F wet be it lake, rain of heavy fog, sucks the heat right out of the body. Not so warm. Have been in enough glacier lakes to know that I am with your buddy; I do not relish hitting that cold water at the start of a swim.

    I was diving here 50 years ago and it was a remote place to dive then. Love that place brought back lots of memories.

    Very cool! No diving in there! Yikes, all those dead snags!
    And yeah--68 degree water is like 30 degrees less than body temperature, so sure it's going to feel frigid. My daughter just put in a pool last year--didn't get a heater, so no, I'm not jumping in there unless the air temp is 100+ degrees!

    GREAT VIDEO - How about putting a Hawaiian Sling on that drone? Good fishing.
