Some photos from a recent dive trip aboard the Lady Go Diver to the wreck of the United Caribbean. I was scooter free diving and shooting with two GoPro Hero3 cameras mounted on a Quikpod Monopod.
Motoring up on the bow of the wreck across the bottom
This post is all about Scooter Free Diving. Something not to be undertaken without plenty of proper free diving training, skill development and good procedures for this specialized type of diving.
Up and over the top, heading towards that hatch into the forward compartment in the bow.
Free diving through the bow locker in the wreck of the United Caribbean (former Golden Venture). The vessel gained international attention when a smuggling attempt involving 286 Chinese nationals went wrong resulting in the death of 13 off New York in 1993.
The Golden Venture hard aground in 1993.
