New Vid: Purple Hydrocoral

I took this footage this past weekend. It was one of the hardest dives I have ever had to do. Even with the scooter "taxi" service to cover the 1/4 mile underwater, each way, I still worked harder at 50 - 60 fsw than I have had to chasing students in OW classes.

I hope you enjoy this.

About this video:
"This video was shot in the waters south of San Diego off the coast of Mexico on the Coronados Islands.

The Purple Hydrocoral is not easily found or seen in shallow depths and without the help of several friends and the use of scooters we would never have made it there and back.

Many special thanks to Jim, Kathy, and Bob."

I haven't run into hydrocoral at Coronado Island....just short lobster, lol.

How deep was this?

This was in about 90 feet of water in the open ocean channel between the north island and the rest of the Coronados Islands.

And it was a HUGE amount of work to run into them. We would never have found them without a travel agent and the underwater taxi service, provided at no charge.
