Yes we are dropping the whole entire $500 camera down there...risky but rewarding...and the bwe UNIVERSE gets to learn with us. When you have the camera deployed, you have to be glued to your fishfinder...otherwise bad things can happen, fast. You have to watch the reef and the swell to get your camera dialed in at just the right distance from the reef, and cross your fingers you don't get hung up.
No we are not watching live wireless video, the technology isn't there yet. But, we can review as soon as we retrieve the camera. Hermosa reef is on the list of areas to check out...I know there's a couple of car bodies down there that would be interesting to see.

![]() Hermosa is cool. The best part are the telephone poles which are supposedly concrete, but there is a bunch of junk down there over a wide area. I'd be careful there because some of the poles stick up several feet off the bottom. Cameras are cool and they definitely change the way you see things. I used to play with mine a lot but burned out. It's funny but one night I was watching mine on the IR setting hooping and it was really cold and really slow. There was a bunch of little crap in the water with some current and with the IR setting it was like watching snow blowing across the screen. After about three hours without a legal I was shivering in my boots and suddenly I was like F this I'm sitting here doing nothing, watching a blizzard on a four inch screen, no wonder I'm freezing!! I pulled up the camera went back to standard hooping with five nets all up and down the breakwall and I don't think I've used the camera since. Were talking like eight to ten years ago. ![]() You keep posting videos I might have to take it out again. Thanks for the vids they are pretty cool. Jim |

If anyone ever loses one of those things, take the gps #'s .....or a marker buoy and/or visual cross bearings on land. I can maybe help go down and get it for you.

That's IT!!!
![]() It's pretty amazing and as you can see some of the structure comes way up off the bottom. I got my camera hung up pretty bad there one day but I kept messing with it and eventually got it loose. It's great that your vid is recorded and also has color. The black and white in real time is enough for you to know what your looking at but with no record of it, it's a total one off, and a completely different thing. Jim |

Jim, Greg and Tony should go out there together one day.
Tony and Greg run their underwater cameras while Jim utilizes his real time feedback to guide the other two guys and helps them avoid trouble. Teamwork like this would really elevate these videos to an even higher level. Working as a team would be fun for you guys since you all have a common interest. I for one would LOVE to see the fruit of such close teamwork. ![]() |
