Holiday DVD Sneak Preview!


I've posted a 15 minute video with highlights of our liveaboard dive trip to the Great Barrier Reef, near Cairns, Australia. It's edited out so that it's just footage of us and the cool things we saw. All of the divers that are recognizable are us, there are a few divers in the background from time to time, those are other people from the trip. The easiest way to identify us is by our fins. John wears bright yellow split fins, and Carrie wears red split fins. This will be on our holiday DVD this year, but as usual, that's late. So this is a sneak preview!

I'm curious is this a Big Fish w. Big Mouth or small fish w. a Big Mouth? Looks pretty tasty like, e.g., Chilean Sea Bass.

I ran your video but was grounded after 35 sec. Not sure if it is due to co. firewall or bandwidth limitation of our NEW AT&T wireless in-home network service. But the giant lizard is surely something- maybe mom likes to take a crack (shoot).

Well, I tried again and got further. Looks like the video clip could stop every once a while, then click the slide-rule bar MAY restart it again from that pt*. Proba. due to 'buffering/dnload the data and saturated local PC buffer memory and 'stuck'.

But the underwater shot is beautiful, like 'Finding Nemo'- in REAL-fish version. Pretty awesome! Excellent video photography. I find that 'poster fish' pretty SMART. It just keeps its BIG mouth open for LONG time and wait for other little guys to fall in. The GOBBLE them up. Neat!

* Ooops sorry to say after tried this techniques a couple times, I might have crashed your site- got a Black Screen- Not available, try it later. Hope not fatal!

This is a big fish with a big mouth. It is a very easy fish to hunt, but is a protected species now. The fish you see swimming in and out of the potato cod's mouth are cleaner fish, not food for the cod. Potato cod eat rays, crabs, squid, octopus, fish and western rock lobsters.
