Thumbs up Flower Gardens Shark Video!!

A friend of mine from the Houston (Scot Patterson) area sent a link to his video shot on his Flower Gardens trip the other week on the MV Spree, it is really cool.
I have invited him to sign up for the ST Forum trip Aug. 1,2,3 to the Flower Gardens and bring his video equipment!

Link to ST Forum Flower Gardens Trip: http://www.spreeexpeditions.com/Default.asp?ds=ScubaToys+Forum+Trip

This is some video that I shot this past weekend. The shark footage was on an offshore rig. I have never seen this many sharks on that rig before. They were all around the outside of the structure. A few would wander inside periodically. You'll see them on the clip. I also included some cool stuff from the Saturday morning and Sunday morning dives at the Flower Gardens and Stetson Bank.

When I upload to a site like this, it tends to reduce the video quality somewhat. Hope you enjoy.

Here is the link:

Arrow ST Forum Trip Aug. 1,2,3

If you like the video sign up for the ST Forum trip Aug. 1,2,3!!

If I can get Scot to go I am sure we could video the dives and burn some DVD's for everyone!!

I will be bringing 2 of my camera set ups as well for photos. If you have cameras bring them and we can make some compulation CD's for every one. I might be talked into letting some one use my back up if they want to try UW photography...maybe.

We live in Texas and are planning a trip to Flower Gardens (since airfare keeps going up) so I especially appreciated the video. Thanks for posting it.

What species of shark are those? Kinda look like Silky sharks but I never saw any close enough to make more of a distinction.

Silky Shark. Pretty common at the Gardens. Lots of BIG Jacks and Grouper as well.
