April 17, 2008 - Diving Scotland's Scapa Flow with John and Jay Ganson


This program was first presented at the Naval War College in Newport and runs a little over 30 minutes.It aims to illustrate what one can learn on any dive trip, simply by looking at all the things beyond diving. As part family travelog it focuses on two divers as well as two non-divers on a family trip. The diving, together with the history of the wrecks from the First World War German Fleet is captivating. That experience together with their tourist exploits to venues like St. Magnus' Cathedral, (one of the largest in Great Britain), provided John's group with a more unified and complete sense of place. The underwater photography, shot mostly with available light and without flash strobes, similarly is meant to convey that dark ambiance to viewers.

Son Jay co-presented. He expounded on his experiences, particularly the training course in extended-rang diving (what we call deco). British training differs significantly. At the end of the presentation John and Jay entertained technical questions on both the diving and how this DVD was created.
