DiveFilm Podcast Video show

Summary: Kathy & Mike Schnetzer's "DeepSee" submersible adventure video documents what it's like to descend to the depths in a small deep sea submersible craft. Diving to depths of 1000 fsw, Kathy and Mike explore the waters off Cocos Island and Malpelo, Columbia in a three person submarine, and bring back high definition video of their dive. DeepSee is a custom built one-atmosphere submarine, capable of carrying one pilot and two passengers down to a depth of 1,500 feet (475 m). It is the first deep submersible designed and developed from its keel up with the ocean enthusiast and underwater explorer in mind and as a dedicated filmmaking observation vehicle. This cool short video by an underwater filmmaking couple who travel the world in search of unusual and intriguing marine animal behavior gives a good feel for what it's like to descend deeper than most divers have ever experienced. The video was an Official Selection at the 2006 San Diego UnderSea Film Exhibition, where Kathy and Mike are an annual presence.
