Scuba Diving Mermet Springs - 11OCT15
As an underwater videographer, I love to find new places to dive, test out equipment and improve my skills. Mermet Springs was a fun place to shoot video and photography my new Nikon J3 camera in the Nikon WP-N2 underwater housing. The rig preformed well even under some low visibility situation.
In the video, you will see my dive buddies, Ken and David. We explored the school bus, jet ski, semi truck, Cobra helicopter, Cessna and the 727 airplane from the movie The Marshalls. Also, see if you can identify some of the fish! We also saw prehistoric paddlefish, but I only photographed them.
Mermet Springs 7/28/18 Part 2 Uncut
This is our dive in Mermet Springs, Belknap, Illinois. This portion of the video is after our main dive and us trying to find the best way to spend the rest of our air underwater. We visit a School bus (15ft), a Harley Davidson motorcyle (15ft), play with bowling balls, swim over a shark statue (10ft), try to feed fish at the petting zoo (15ft), and eventually end at the beach where we feed some small fish.

Hungry Catfish at Mermet Springs
The catfish at Mermet Springs (dive destination in south-central Illinois near Metropolis) find the divers bring food for them (typically hotdogs) and have begun to expect it. While we were completing a safety stop at their 15' platform, this fish spotted us and was expecting a handout but we brought no fish food.
