Cyprus, Zenobia 2 7th October 2024
This was our second dive of the day on the Zenobia. This time doing the wreck lesson as part of the PADI AOW course. Our nephew was looking very relaxed in the water and so we did some wreck penetration.
This dive headed to the point bit at the front of the boat. Look out for the red carpet that is still in place when we go inside.
Water temp was 26c even down to 30 metres. So diving in a 3mm shortie was all that was required.
Video was shot using a GoPro 9, 60 FPS and 4k, plus a pair of 9,000 lumen Divepro lights.

Day two of little trip to Cyprus. Day two of the PADI Open Water Course-Deep and Wreck diving. This time diving on nitrox. If one is going to dive in Cyprus then really should pay a visit, or two to the Zenobia wreck. The wreck is extremely well documented, and makes for a popular dive site, you can see why. This dive takes us to the stern, so look for rudder and propeller. Some grouper and lio...

This was our third dive of the day. Our nephew was doing the peak performance buoyancy lesson on the PADI Advanced Open Water Course. In this case the depth was no more than four metres. I think the diver did very well. To give some idea about the student's confidence, towards the end of the dive he spotted a juvenile moray lurking under a rock. The eel is hard to see, but it is there. There is...

Some dive trips are special and some are simply awesome. Up until a week prior to flying I had no inkling that our nephew was heading to Cyprus to do his PADI Advanced Open Water Dive course. At a family lunch the topic came up and five minutes later the flights were booked. This dive is on Jublilee Shoals in Pissouri Bay. Maximum depth 30 metres. Look out for a brown and white nudibranch. Not ...

This gentle drift dive is for the macropodia lovers. Pay attention to all the kelp as there are plenty of crustaceans hanging around being cool. The video was taken using a GoPro 9 and some Divepro video lights. We were diving off the boat Valhalla, skipped by Hazel #valhalla, #mvvalhalla

This was our second dive of the week on this wreck. As can be seen the conditions were a bit murky. Not to be put off I concentrated on the engineering elements, hence the backlighting of various parts of the wreck. The video was shot using a GoPro 9, 4k, 60 FPS and several DivePro video lights were used. We were using the dive boat Valhalla skippered by Hazel. #mvvalhalla #valhalla #diveshetland

This wreck is one of the Russian factory trawlers that suffered an all too familiar fate. The dive is fairly shallow, we maxed out at 20 metres, so plenty of natural light. I used the opportunity to do some back lighting, arty stuff, some of which I rather like. The video was shot using a GoPro 9, 4k 60 FPS and several DivePro video lights.

Dratsi is the Shetland word for otter. So the alternative name for the site is Otter Point. As scenic dives go this was a treat. Look out for ling, whelks, a butter fish, and various shelled critters moving around. As can be seen at the end of the video, the weather was a bit challenging. Hazel and the crew had an interesting time collecting us. #valhalla #mvvalhalla #diveshetland

The thing with scenic dives is you never really know what to expect. This lovely dives contains all sorts of wildlife: several octopus, cat shark, ling, gurnards and various lobsters scuttling around. It felt like playing Seasearch Bingo. Thank you to Hazel and Helen for running Valhalla dive boat for us. #valhalla #mvvalhalla
