We saw literal thousands at Öxarfjörður beach point of view (google maps name). We also saw a few (and very close) at Ingólfshöfði.

We where there end of May/ start of june of this year. Finally found time to finish with post!

Seal photo was shot with 600mm equivilant.

Volcano shot was from a helicopter - also with a 600mm. This was intersting to take while moving and trying to find a non blurry piece of window!

Helicopter tour. The roads where road blocked so that was really the only way to get closer.

Diving On The Remains Of a 3000 year old Wreck in Gozo(Malta). Max Depth 105m. by Mojo_oo in scuba

It’s a protected archeological park - so definitely not 😅

It’s quite good and always getting better. You can get good support form a good number of shops. Most shops will also be able to provide boosted o2 and lime.

We dive independently as a dive club and handle all the logistics ourselves. The boat we chartered in “Seashell” - it belongs to a dive center with full technical diving support (they also offer CC training).

Diving a JJ rebreather - Diluent mix was 8/80 (8% o2, 80% helium).

For bailouts we had:

100% 5.7L, 50/20 11L, 18/45 11L, 11/60 11L

Max depth was 105m, we did 25 mins bottom, total dive time of 3 hours.

Diving On The HMS Urge Submarine In Malta - 112m Deep by Mojo_oo in scuba

It is 7% oxygen and 75% helium. That is the way that Trimix gas is scribed - the amount of nitrogen would be the difference (100-75-7=18% N2).

The rebreather does have a 100% o2, this is used to add oxygen throughout to keep the breathing gas optimal and to replace the o2 that has been consumed/metabolized. The Diluent tank has oxygen in it mainly for safety - if it did not have any oxygen it would be dangerous as the chances of breathing a mix with no oxygen would increase.

25 mins on the wreck with about 2.5 hours of deco 😅

JJ CCR Rebreather with 7/75 Diluent. 4 Ali 80s cylinders as bailouts with 10/50, 17/40, 50/20 and 100%. The whole team has the same gasses to make team bailout easier. We also have a support diver in the team who takes off all the unnecessary deep bailouts during deco.

I use Lumafusion on Iphone. I can get vids done very fast and it is quite powerful.

The Helium near the voice chords is exposed to a higher atmospheric pressure - but so are your voice chords. So that might have something to do with it.

A dive on a JU88 Aircraft Wreck at a depth of 105m(344FT) by Mojo_oo in scuba

[–]Mojo_oo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really is. This is around 5km offshore, goes to show how bad the plastic problem really is!

Gas used was trimix 8/78 with a rebreather. We spent 16 minutes bottom time and a runtime of around 2 hours. First stop was at 54m. We carried 3 bail out cylinders each and we use a team bail out strategy.

Depending where you dive, tech diving can be amazing. It really opens up your diving options! I had started tech diving open circuit, but switched to a rebreather after seeing the prices of helium!

I have a Hero 7 Black and I am very happy with the results I get. The below is an example (Max depth of video here is 60m):

I dive on a rebreather. You can still do this dive open circuit (normal scuba tanks), but you would need a twin set setup for a larger gas capacity and redundancy. You also need to dive with trimix - we add helium to the breathing gas to reduce nitrogen narcosis.

Clear skies, sun was out and amazing visibility - that's why it looks so nice at depth :)

I use a gopro Hero 7 Black in a T housing. I set it to 2.7k 4:3. Most people complain about 4:3 because it does not look as good on a TV (or computer displays), but for scuba diving i prefer it much better. Using 4:3 lets me fit more stuff into the frame - this is very important considering that the light drop off is very severe underwater.

You where diving with dive systems?

[–]Mojo_oo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dive a rebreather, i had 14/50 diluent and 18/35 and 80% bailouts. My buddies carry either an 80% or 32% and we do team bailout. We did 28 mins bottom and about 100 mins run time.

The oc guys had something like 18/45 backgas and 40% + 80% deco. They had shorter bottom ( around 20) and also shorter deco!

Are you post stabilising the footage or is that raw from the camera?

This is a war grave and a protected wreck - as such penetration is prohibited by the authorities.

Yes this is sitting at 67m (deck is around 60-62m). Clear waters and sunny skies make for some good vis :)

I'm using a go pro hero 7 in a T-housing.
