Abby's First Monkey Dive

Jonathan teaches Abby to monkey dive with an x-scooter. Monkey diving uses a side-mount tank and a fast dive scooter for maximum speed. This is a high adrenaline sport... like surfing under water. Abby is a PADI dive instructor at the Belmar resort in Bonaire... she has been corrupted ;-).

Underwater Photography with a Scooter

Video clips showing how to use a tow-behind scooter and large still camera (Nikon D200 in this case) together. Most people think scootering is incompatible serious underwater still photography. This video shows how the two work perfectly together.

Bonaire (Long Cut)

A long "diver's cut" of the video worth sharing. Rough editing and fairly random music. You won't miss anything is you plug in your own music. Covers all the dive sites where I shot video, plus some topside shots. This is mainly for friends and family, or people looking for a 47 minute virtual dive.
