2007 - photo / video trips

[Seal diver]

In 2007 I am planning to arrange several trips with the opportunity to film orca and of course seals underwater:

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

As usual these will be non-profit making, but with the aim that the group going will be like minded.
Details to follow soon.

Safe diving,
Ben.

I liked the clips when you linked to the YouTube stuff the other week. I would like to do some of this sort of diving in the future, time and money permitting. Maybe I will get some camera equipment soon... in the meantime I just have to enjoy swimming with the critters

In mid to late Nov next year I will be organising a long weekend trip (arrive Thursday, snorkel/dive Frid/Sat/Sun depart Mon) to northern Norway to snorkel with orca.

There will also be the potential to dive (scuba) at night (i.e anytime after 1530hrs!) with herring and possible chance encounters with orca underwater / feeding.
The details will be confirmed soon but the trip will not be cheap (although it will be done not for profit.) as Norway is expensive.

It is likely that we will be based on a large boat with diving facilities and use a zodiac for the snorkelling.
Kit hire will be possible but all divers/snorkellers need to be experienced.

Costs are not confirmed yet but are likely to be about £700 per person including flights. (If we can do it cheaper we will and I will publish all cost breakdown for transparency)

The aim will be to get really close to orca in the water.
People seriously interested should email me asap (Max number 14) first come first served!

A few short clips from last weekend are on:
