Dr. Bill Returns
What a summer... and it ain't over yet! I've been doing so much diving, video editing and creation of my products that I haven't had much time to blog. Then my old log-on wouldn't work, but fortunately Gabriel fixed that so I'm back on MDL, although I won't be blogging as frequently as before until the dive boat settles back to 2-3 trips a week.
Diving 4-6 times a week, then editing the footage acquired and creating new episodes of my cable TV show has certainly kept me out of "trouble" this summer. I've added some new dimensions to my diving as well.
First, we all know that there are two types of divers: those who pee in their wetsuits, and those who lie about it. Well, now there is a third type: me! I just completed my 61st consecutive dive without peeing. In the last 86 dives I've only pee'd once. These are world class records for me.
Second, I've continued a practice I began about a year ago... deep diving on air (the gas the Creator gave us and the only one I trust.. until I learn tri-mix). I regularly dive in the 160-180 ft range with my deepest dive being to 200 ft (my absolute basement depth on air). NOTE: I DO NOT ADVOCATE THIS OR RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE ELSE. The only reason I've been doing it is to film the often unique creatures one sees at such depths in our waters. I now know why there are so few nudies in Catalina waters... they are mostly below recreational depths.
I continue to dive off the King Neptune as often as they go out. My last dive in our great dive park was in early June when a lovely mermaid came out to visit... and finally dive as my buddy!
I have also decided to finally upgrade to an HD camcorder. I discovered that my housing (which has accomodated Sony Hi-8, digital-8 and now mini-DV camcorders) can be used to house the Sony HC-3! No need for a new housing.
To achieve this purchase, I am now offering a special sale of all six (6) of my current DVD's for $100 plus $10 shipping and California state sales tax (8.75%) if applicable. That's a savings of $45 on the package. Check out the following web page for more information: Dr. Bill's DVD Special. 11:53 AM - 8/31/2006 - post comment
