@9:58 to 10:12 that is a really nice transition with the fish. The call back at 11:13 was the best. People don't know how long it takes to find these things and put them together. They don't realize they just watched a transition. All they know is that the editing told them a story and it was a nice story. They liked it but they don't know why. Good job editing crew.

when you get water that clear would it be wise to explore a little more rather than stay? or if youre on gold you just stay on it?

[@TheEmilyRiedel]

Good question! Great viz for live boating but the current and wind have to cooperate. But typically if the gold's good you don't leave until it's gone

How many hours worked outside of dive timer during that time period?
