I was a hunter most of my 65 years and although I stopped a few years back, I still love it , respect it and back in my prime couldn't have stood only being a spectator to this. If I was a grouper this is the real estate I'd be on. I wanna thank you for taking me down with ya. Stay safe my friend.
Great dive. Most don’t understand the concept of dropping divers on different spots a distance apart. Common practice in commercial spearing. Can be trouble but got to work through it. Great reward waiting that second one out. They usually appear for me when I’m up 50’. I was thinking about Dan’s video (bait ball) wile you were un-shafting that second fish and I saw the bait sinking.
That's a couple of nice fish right there! And don't you just hate it. You come up and the boat is a 1/4 mile away. WTF? The problem with that is if you have problems, help is a long ways off. A good captain would be right there when you come up to offer assistance should you need it. I had one time back when I was diving, I came up and I couldn't see ANY boat in any direction! The shore (east coast diving off Palm Beach) was about 2-3 miles away, and I said well, I guess I can make the shore but it's gonna take awhile. Thankfully, the boat finally showed up. All's well that ends well I guess.
@@Mike-hb4pc I was losing it when I saw that. I suppose it's bound to happen, I ve fished enough offshore and seen the current at times really bad. On the surface is when I would feel most venerable. It's amazing how fish blend in even when only feet from the surface and they are accustomed to staying just out of sight while positioning for maximum effect. I'm not trying to be a dark cloud on a beautiful trip, just being realistic. These guys and gals I've enjoyed watching really have their system down to science , you have to admit and give it to them. They don't waste time , get what's best first then get back out before all that could be around is. Its so captivating to watch and I get a fishes perspective of my days offshore.
The boat was on top of the other Diver that went in the water first. Mine was just a shorter dive so I had to get their attention. They were expecting him up first though, and he was near the surface on his safety stop
The first diver was on a stop close to the surface. He dropped first so they figured he would be up first. He must have stayed down a little longer and had more deco than I did.
Quick drops and no one wants to pull the anchor. We dropped two people on two different spots and they were just on top of the other guy who dropped first.
