Arrow Free Dive Bottom Traverse Tenneco Tower & Camera Comparison

The following video taken with two GoPro Cameras, one standard (hand held) and one in an eyeofmine.com housing (chest mount) with corrective flat port. The video covers the trip to the bottom, traversing beneath the tower in around 110 ft. and ascent. The less clear imagery is out of the standard housed camera. I was scooter free diving while shooting the video. Visibility was not so great at around 50 to 60 ft. and turbid. Light levels were also low due to cloud cover and reduced visibility. Thanks again to Goldcoast SCUBA's meet up group for setting up this great dive and to Sea Experience II for carrying us out there!



A still photo capture from one of the video clips. Descending beneath divers on safety stop.



Passing beneath the platform.



Here's the video ...







Ascending with some spadefish between myself and the sun.



Sliding above deck level.



This tower or platform that is the subject of this dive may be the one shown being lowered over the side.

As always, don't attempt scooter free diving without proper professional training, skill development, use of appropriate gear and safety procedures. Even with all that in place you can still be severely injured or killed by doing this.
