Fish Research Divers at 400'-Warning

The guys over at Neutral Dive Gear posted this video of two research divers at 400'. We decided to post this after we had finished spraying coffee out of our noses. Apparently it's cold down there:

Shark Diving-New Website for Six-Gills

If you were not at the Northwest Dive Travel Expo last weekend you missed one of the most exciting dive operations to hit the West Coast in the past 5 years.

Hydrus has pioneered Six-Gill caged shark feeding encounters in the waters off of the Pacific Northwest. Thus far Team Hydrus has played host to many of the old timers in the film and dive industry who are always first to "sniff out" the next big thing. Howard Hall and company to mention some names.

"We were the first team in history to successfully attract and dive with Six Gill Sharks in shallow water while the animals were feeding. Over a 5-year period we created a one-of-a-kind program to attract Six Gill sharks. During those years we documented animal behavior never seen before by scientists, started documenting the behavior of individual animals, designed and build many custom pieces of equipment to enhance the observation experience, and conducted a “proof of concept” event at the Seattle Aquarium, which helped them start their Six Gill Shark research program."

Dust off those camera housings and seal up that dry suit...it's Six-Gill time!

Places You Never Want To Be Without A BIC Pen

While this next item has nothing to do with sharks and shark diving we did find it buried in a series of articles about sharks in Antarctica.

While the rest of the planet goes about it's business a small and decidedly crazy group of researchers and hard core die hards make a living on this last outpost of mankind.
