      @BlueWorldTV  5 років тому +1

      Yeah, I had a Hollis SMS too and it was terrible. The design was such that when you added air, it got tighter. So I had to constantly readjust it as I changed the amount of air in it. the XDEEP is really awesome. And I ordered it right from the manufacturer so they embroidered my name on it!! So cool.

      Different fins for different stuff. The fins I was wearing in this video are an old pair of Mares that Todd gave me. My new favorite cave fin is the ScubaPro Go Fin. But for general diving of course I only use the Force Fin.

    @anthonylargeanus9401 5 років тому

    Great video. Gear question for you folks. Why would you run two different second stage regulators on each cylinder? On one you have an A700 and the other is a S600. Why not keep them the same?

    • @BlueWorldTV
      @BlueWorldTV  5 років тому

      Actually there is a great reason. I can tell which one is which by feel. The A700 is metal and it's heavy. The S600 is plastic and it's light. So I know which one is which very easily without seeing them. I actually prefer the lighter S600 even though the A700 is technically supposed to be a better regulator.

    The ride out of the first cave on the tide must be amazing. How close to the slack tide were you?

    • @BlueWorldTV
      @BlueWorldTV  5 років тому +1

      Yeah we were well aware of the leaking O-ring on Zach's valve. But we had no other tanks on the boat. We were pretty darned close to the slack. We went in just after slack so there was a little bit of current coming out. By the time we turned around, it was pushing fast enough to give us a ride. The thing is that getting back out takes almost no time and you realize you should have stayed longer. If we were more familiar with the dive and the current, we would be able to go much further in.

    Let us exhume the Great Exuma to see the walls, fish, and current of invite or not. In this Blue World rushing by us and seeing beauty underneath. Commence,great story teller of the Sea. I wish I could join you!! But 1968 stop that. The was water was deep, when I jump from the 2 tier. Darkness announced to my eye lids, saying that this was a deep dive.Along with the water becoming colder. Then with out warning weeds from the bottom attack me. Saying come closer for we are hungry. Still eyes closed I darted for the surface to escape the monsters. Bang I ran into one of the barrels that keeps the dock afloat. I open my eyes to see where I was and it was still very dark except for slivers of light. Now I was panicking, because I had to go under water again to clear the bottom side of the dock. I made it. From that point on swimming would always be a fear, the weeds and depth. If I had been wearing goggles with light, what dark unknown things might have been their. I shudder when I think on it. But Jonathan you have made it less in fear of these things.
