Wall diving in New England

As the season winds down, we have been booking trips through Cape Ann Divers to get out to Halfway Rock and BFW as much as we can in order to finish documenting these places before winter. Finally mother nature was on our side and we were pleased to observe incredible visibility at these sites. I was able to shoot Chuck Marrone against some impressive backdrops allowing for more perspective than I've ever previously been able to attain at these locations. If you haven't seen these places first hand, the pictures only represent tiny pieces of these colossal underwater structures.

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.

Diving Locker Museum

If you're not one of the fruitcakes that dives in the winter, now is an excellent time to visit Paul Harling at the Diving Locker Museum. Paul is a great guy to chat with about all things diving and his little museum is jam packed with all kinds of cool diving gear. You can even try on an antique diving helmet while you are there. Diving nerds beware.. Plan to send at least an hour here, and be sure to ask Mr. Harling questions- he has a story for everything in the museum.
