Atlantic Wolfish in Cape Ann

        We met this lady offshore while diving with Cape Ann Divers a couple of weeks ago. A rare find (though I can't take credit for finding her) not to mention my first REAL LIFE wolfish sighting. OH Boy! I couldn't stop thinking about this magnificent fish. What's not pictured is a debris field of pulverized shells that were in front of the wolfish home (a broken pipe.)  In other words, anyone who was unlucky enough to be a passerby in this particular location.

After snapping a few pictures she became a little bit agitated and began to show off her artillery (pictured below). At that point I let her be and returned to the boat overjoyed, and happy to still have all my fingers...

 
Well folks, the season is in full swing. I'll do my best to start posting on a regular basis. In the mean time, enjoy the wolfish. A face that only a mother, or a fish-nerd could love...

Saturday Night Ledge

      Here's our short film on "Saturday Night Ledge," located offshore of Gloucester, Massachusetts. This video was shot over the course of 5 days during September-November 2011. Despite frozen head and hands, sea-sickness, and a touch of narcosis, we had a blast making this one. This is truly a magical place.

Thanks to Cape Ann Divers, Captain Steve, and Dave for getting us there and back so many times in one piece.

Above Cape Ann

Last fall, my buddy Mike Abelson took me up in his Skylane RG to get some aerial shots of Cape Ann. We were able to quickly and easily identify some of the best dive sites around the island. It was a hazy, but beautiful day, and it's always a blast riding in the front seat of a small plane (not to mention hanging out the window, camera in hand). In any case, this video that I finally cut together offers a unique perspective of some of our favorite dive sites. Enjoy!

"This Place Sucks"

Some unbelievable cave diving footage from Mexico. Great cutting and music in the video. You will also see some footage of some ancient bones found in the cave system. Not much info on where they were or the diving conditions, but great video work. Check it out:

Some more from the archives

         The Green Diver crew has been tirelessly preparing for the new dive season: gear inspection, maintenance, improvements, and some more camera equipment. We'll probably hit the water in May sometime and have some new content shortly after. In the mean time, I'll continue to post some more stuff from last year as I come across it...

A fierce friend at The Salvages. He kept trying to get his reflection in my camera housing.

Star tunicate, pretty but invasive.

Ocean Men: Extreme Dive

I've been waiting for a long time for someone to post this video as it is virtually unavailable for purchase or television viewing. This IMAX documentary was shot in 2001 documenting champion freedivers, Pipin Ferreras & Umberto Pelizzari's world record freedive attempts. This is a beautifully shot film and I regret never having the opportunity to actually see it in IMAX. Enjoy!

Lucy

I was at my folks house yesterday and was snapping some pictures of my parent's amazon parrot, Lucy. I had to post a macro of her eye. It looks like an alien planet. If you think this is disturbingly close up, you should see the high resolution version. Enjoy...
