Back when it was OK to touch....
Here's a short taken from a Super-8 film I shot in about 1979. (please excuse the poor film quality... it's not like today's video) Probably shouldn't do stuff like this any more.
The older I get the better I was.

Well done sir....I applaud your efforts in getting to know the creatures of the sea better.
Doing it right should include some common sense, not just blindly following specs and instructions. .Gary D, AWAP on SB

- Back when it was okay to touch... And there was only FILM, LIGHT, and LENS QUALITY... That's a darned good movie quality for 1979.

Re: Back when it was OK to touch....
Thanks. I may post a few more inappropriate (by today's standards) diving stunts, and I invite others to contribute photos too!
Some of the things we did we're out of a genuine curiosity of learning about the marine critters, but admittedly some were just because we were young shark proof, bend resistant show offs trying to outdo one another.
