Just came across this. Pretty amazing videography in terms of timing and viz. Kudos to the free diver having at in and in proper position, sans mask or fins.



Another recent discovery. An old intro film to the well regarded LA County Dive Instruction program from 1964. Often use the analogy of kite instruction today being similar to diving in the 1960's. That is to say focusing to excess on bare basics, not enough theory, emergency procedures, environmental evaluation, access protection, etc.. In some ways the content and delivery in this case well exceeds what I was getting out. These folks were ahead of their time. Shop well for kite (or dive) instruction, it far from equal.

I've heard of manatees and dolphins doing this sort of nurturing but a leopard seal under the Antarctic ice? Here's a penguin, that's a good boy. Intriguing video!

Here is an interesting presentation of multiple viewpoints taken with GoPro cameras. Have this problem myself, good to see various approaches to managing all the footage.
