Mr.leuge My name is Jezzelle I'm from Mr.messick's class, I have a question for you, I still remember the surface supply. How do you keep on taking pictures under water using that? Is it hard moving your arm or just your head? By the way cool pictures it must be awesome to see seals down there. Jezzelle

Hi Jezzelle,Thanks for the compliment on the pictures! I'm glad you like them!
Yes, it is great to see the seals (and all the other organisms here).
Yes, when we're surface supply diving, it is hard to move your head.
Our arms feel normal, just like when we SCUBA dive, so it is still
possible to move the camera around. Everything just needs to happen
slowly and you have to turn your whole body to look from side to side.
The other thing that frustrates me is that we can't show you
photos/video of us working on surface supply, because when we're surface
supply diving, there's only one diver. It's hard to take photos or
video of yourself underwater!
Thanks for the great question. I'm really glad that you're paying
attention.
Mike
