Last Saturday (12/5/14) we trucked out to Pelto-6, an unmanned platform near C6C, for more training dives and practice with underwater sample collection for me. While it was raining in Baton Rouge, we had a beautiful warm day in the Gulf. Water temps were ~69˚F, max bottom depth was 46 ft. There were some Portuguese man of war on the surface, but they were drifting away from the platform and posed a minimal danger. On our third dive of the day, I shot this GoPro footage (Hero 3). It’s a little shaky, sometimes pointed in the wrong direction, and I need to move my head more slowly. But it’s useful and you can see a massive school of catfish that were hanging out in the middle of the rig, along with some other interesting creatures.
