We recently completed an interactive DVD program for a marine biology educator who presents programs to school children. It involved two days of underwater and topside shooting and several months of editing and creation of the interactive DVD. A clip from this program entitled, “Life in the Bay,” can be seen at www.deepbluediscoveries.com. In addition, we have producing a weekly video scubacast tour of one of the dive sites we have been on lately and this can be seen at iTunes (search for ScubaVisions) or at www. ScubaVisions.TV. Finally, we are producing a Caribbean Creature ID video program for the online educational website, Expert Village. These short introductions to various Caribbean marine creatures can be seen at http://www.expertvillage.com/video-series/5577_identify-fish.htm.

How is a normal day in the life of your Dive Business?
I’m either diving or creating wonderful programs in the studio from the footage shot while I was diving.

We take you there visually.
How do you see the dive industry at the moment? What is your perspective about the future of the dive industry?
Recession will hurt growth of the dive industry as discretionary income dries up. But those who love the underwater marine world will continue to find ways to enjoy it. Our goal is to bring that world to the divers so they can stay acquainted even when they can’t get wet.

I would assume filming underwater is no easy task. From the looks of it you do a really great job.
