    Default Another great Nick Poole video

    Another great video from Nick Poole. Tech scooter diving in the Red Sea. Love the music.

    NOTE: audio not kid/work appropriate.

    "This is one of the most spectacular dives on the Red Sea. This dive start our with divers passing below the Aida wreck at around 75 meters. Then moving around the Reef to Numidia, up through its hull form 80 meters to start the deco inside the wreck at around 21 meters. Then they scooter back to the boat passing over the Aida wreck again. What is important to notice in this video is the skills of the video operator, Nick Poole. He is conducting the same dive and taking these spectacular shots with seamless panning in and out. At the same time handling all his gear and scooter and all."

    Those are two beauties of wrecks. How I wish I had had a video cam (or at least working still cam) in Egypt!

    Nice video too!

    Wow! I can' believe it took me this long to see that! What's with barrel rolls... when one guys does it it's an automatic response to do one also!

    I don't think people realize how hard it is to shoot and scooter AND keep in touch with the team at the same time... definitely something that you can't just jump into...
    Today I went to look at Drysuits... and came home with a tube of Aquaseal :(

    We were lucky enough to have Nick and Valentina on the boat with us in October. They dove with us and documented the dives, and offered a DVD of the trip which we OF COURSE purchased. It's beautiful. They are superb divers, skillful videographers, and darned good company.

    Such a great vid! And the stunt barrel roll at 4:14? Talk about an experienced scooter pilot!
