In August we were asked by IANTD BOA Georges Gawinowski to help put together the DVD portion of the new IANTD Essentials course. I would be teaming up with Georges’ brother Thierry, who happens to be a very talented video producer from Merci, France. After we organized all the equipment and went through the check list, we were off from Ft. Lauderdale to Cave Country in Northern Florida. Cave Country is a term divers use to describe the large area of caves and springs west of I-75 from about Ocala to Lake City, our destination was Ginnie Springs. We arrived to greet Daehag Kim and Eunjin Jo who helped as talent. Over the course of a week, we shot a lot of underwater demos and land drills as well as an interview with legendary cave diver John Orlowski. In October we shot more skills with Oliver Paoli and Georges in the pool and ocean. Thierry has been tasked with the offline edit and designs and me, the online. Below is a video teaser put together for the DEMA trade show and some production stills (courtesy of Daehag and Eunjin).
