On this page you can view images and descriptions of the equipment I use to explore beneath the waves. As I travel, I need assistance from volunteers all over the state.

I use a 140hp Evenrude outboard motor on my expeditions. It has a 60amp alternator (installed in 2009). It is a one of a kind motor with two charging systems.

Up to four camera views can be transmitted. A diver's GPS location can be seen and recorded. The float camera is also equipped with a microphone so the diver can talk to the boat.

Both side cameras can rotate 360 degrees. Every thing under the boat can be seen on screen by turning the video cable one full turn.
