10.24.09 - Neptune Memorial Garden - Miami Beach, FL
Sunday, October 25th, 2009
Hello everyone.
Saturday, October 24 finds the Video Dude and dive buddies Paul and Thora, on the RJ Diving Ventures boat heading out to dive on the Neptune Memorial. I’ve been wanting to do this dive for months now and the schedule finally worked out. For those of you who don’t know, the Neptune Memorial is an underwater memorial garden (aka cemetary) designed in an artist’s concept of Atlantis. It sits at about 40 ft, and takes up about an acre of bottom. Captain Mike and Divemaster Georgia get us out to the site on an off-and-on sunny afternoon and we all get ready to jump in. Paul, Thora and I roll off the side of the boat, ahead of a large group of students, in order to get some video before the viz gets bad.
As it turns out, the viz was kinda murky anyway. It made for challenging video conditions for sure, but I managed to get about 19 or 20 minutes of video. There are some still frames included in this posting below:
The site was amazing to see and interesting to video. I definitely want to make some repeat trips here so I can catch the site on a clear viz and sunny day!
Finding cool new stuff to see in Paradise,
The Video Dude
