A gorgeous place

Your typical Bahamian grocery store. Amazing how well stocked some of these tiny places were.

Me, wearing a Dol-fin and a Freediver Recovery Vest (FRV)

Sometimes the weather was gorgeous and the hunting good

Sometimes not so gorgeous.

Dang it Conner!!!! I'm so jealous!!! Outstanding trip and documentation of the fun. Oh yeah, I see what you mean about three of you "roughing it" eating a single lobster!!!

By that time, our appetites were huge and we managed to eat all of it in one meal, not counting a lot of meat in the antennae and legs. Cooking it the minimum possible was the trick.

Another great adventure guys, I'm in awe of your collective diving feats, yeah, the Dol-fin, too.

Matt, that shot of Simon dropping into the crevice is awesome, if a bit creepy.
Great adventure! Can't wait to see more!

Living vicariously through you guys this week

The shots of the crevasses don't give anything like the impact they had. Videos will be better, but still not the same. It was an awesome place.


Simon is good, he has worked at it. The rest of us are just journeymen. Most anybody who is willing to acquire decent technique can do this stuff.

Conner,
Thanks for sharing the highlights of your Bahamas trip with CSC. It looks like you and your crew had quite an adventure.
I liked the picture of 'Blew by You" anchored in Blue Bayou. Seems like a nice place to be marooned, if you had a choice.
On another note, is it pretty scary looking right down the road at Mile Marker 65? I'm glad you're going ahead and scouting this "Old" stuff out for Denny, Kenny, Kenny, Gillie, Padre, Donny, Skippie, Danny, Denny, GFS, Skiblet, Dave, Sully and I, because we'd be nervous if we had to go first. You're kinda' like the SCS Ice Breaker or Harbor Pilot for "old" - but we're right back there backin 'ya up 100%!!!!

Where's Mile Marker 65?

Back me up????

How about get in front?

I tried to get Denny interested in another Bahama explore, but he gives me some crap about age. Heck, he can't be more than 75, whats the problem?

OK,Ok, so I need somebody to lead me back to Bayport, you get in front.
