Fixed invalid file format/failed to open problem on some devices
Started our summer dive schedule on 1-Jul-2012 at Cedar Hill Park near Wiarton Ont Canada. Tested my Canon 960 IS camera with Canon underwater housing. It has low light capabilities and does a good job of image stabilization with good focus. All the camera controls are easily accessible from the housing even with heavy neoprene dive gloves . Renee and I had a great time along with several other dive couples. Weather was sunny and warm with light winds. Colpoys bay thermocline was approx 35 ft depth (warm meets cold). Visibility was approx 25-35 ft but the camera did a good job. We got down below 60 ft but Renee has gotten used to Caribbean diving so we spent more time around thermocline depth. Next dive location will probably be Tobermory.

Cedar Hill has been a popular local scuba diving spot for quite a few years due to the small, out of the way park facilities and the fact that the bottom gradually slopes to approx 150 ft or so. The site is used quite often for diver certification for open water and advanced open water. Since Advanced open water requires underwater navigation as well as search and retrive, I suspect someone started putting more interesting objects to mark out a course. Just a theory. I then suspect it became a competition of one upmanship to see who could be the most creative. At any rate objects are scattered over quite a large area and at different depths so it can take some time to find everything since the visibility is 25-35 ft normally and less if someone stirs up the bottom. Video editing makes it seem closer. Due to winter ice, the objects are positioned below 30 ft depth and therefore are quite a distance from shore due to the gradual slope. This was a 45 minute dive and we did not find everything. It is not junky as some may think. Divers are very environmentally aware and our dive club volunteers each year to help clean up local harbours and waterways.

Renee and I are having fun since the weather is finally getting nicer here in Canada. We do however look forward to returning to our home at Victoria Palms in Donna Texas this fall. Hope it is not too hot this summer in the RGV,

Hope you enjoyed the video. I am enjoying my new video editor and underwater case for my camera.
