A Freediver's Daydream: What We Do In The Shallows
Вставка

- We decided to showcase the wreckage of the Paddle Steamer Ozone by playing a game of underwater hide and seek around the various parts of it.
The comparative lack of marine life is due to summer holidays with kids jumping off the upper structures of the wreck, and people paddling, swimming and snorkelling all around it. We only just managed to keep them out of the frame!
HISTORY
The PS Ozone was a Port Phillip Bay excursion steamer which began its career with a run from Melbourne to Queenscliff in 1886.
She was 260 feet long, had a green hull, white superstructure and two orange funnels. Her three decks were well-appointed with a dining room, bars and a ladies salon, all lit by the-then new electric light.
She was also the fastest steam-driven vessel in the bay, twice beating the S.S Courier in organized steamship races.
In 1889 and 1894, the PS Ozone was involved in collisions with two other vessels. She was withdrawn from service in 1918, and sold to a ship breaker in 1925.
In October 1925, she was dismantled and her hull was sunk as a breakwater for small vessels at Indented Head.
Her remains are gradually eroding into the sea. In 1991, her starboard paddle wheel collapsed into the sea (this can be seen toward the end of the video). The rest is due to follow.
THE WRECK TODAY
The wreckage is spread over a wide area approximately 50 metres from shore at depths ranging from 2 to 3.5 metres, making it an excellent recreational dive for snorkellers, freedivers and Scuba divers.
Lol just be safe and enjoy your journey under the amazing water world❤
Such fun!
It sure was, Nick! But also very trying.
Wow ! this is great. Love the music and insight into what lays below. Cheers !
Thanks, Vicky. Darren will be happy you like the music! All the wreckage is overgrown with kelp, sponges and other sea growth and some of it is hardly even recognizable as man-made any more.
We met you today at the beach club in gili meno. Such an inspiration to see you be able to this, and hear your stories in person. Keep going with the youtube, your edits are great and its amazing to watch.
Loved this. I'm in awe of your adventures freediving. It looked quite beautiful under the bay.
Thanks, Pearl. Hopefully, we will get some more like this but in different locations.
Lovely video!
Hey Andrea and David, I loved your newest video filmed at Indented head and I think you are awesome for being able to hold your breath for so long
Thanks, Hiroshi. We're trying to get a bit of 'artistry' into underwater filming.
@@jennineparke8711 Thanks Jennine. There are freedivers many times better than us at holding their breath. But we're pretty happy with where we're at.
Great video footage, and nice music with it, and a great feel to it all - old and bold indeed !
Thanks, Bill. Happy to have you and Vicky on board!
Really Nice to watch, D and A. I tried holding my breath for the entire 4 minute 53 running length but I couldn't manage.
Neither could we.
Hello Andrea and David lovely video . Y’all like living dangerously in the Aussie waters there are lots of sharks be safe .❤❤
Thanks, Rachel. Lovely to have you on board. Truth is, we're lucky to ever see a shark! Most are not dangerous to humans even though the media would suggest otherwise. Much more danger of being hit by a paddle board, jetski or boat!
Enjoyed this, the wreck is fascinating and the footage is great. Always wanted to film something underwater myself. Great video :-)
Thanks, Nexus. Keep an eye out for our next one!
