Nanaimo Technical Dive Trip, December 2005I took these photographs in December 2005 on a dive trip to Nanaimo B.C. on Vancouver Island.Our hosts for the trip were Dan & Deb Ferris of Mamro Adventures, Nanaimo. Chris Miller piloted the skiff. Our DIR dive team for this adventure consisted of myself, Greg Mossfeldt, Doug Barsaloux, TL Kokot, Jeff Grimson, and Mike Burgess. The photos were taken by a Sealife DC200 digital underwater camera, without external strobe (just using the internal flash). |
