Deepest pogo stick dive shattered

Inspired Trainer · 4th February 2008, 15:59

Hello fellow Pelagites

Last week team Pelagian contributed enormously to road safety by using a pogo stick deeper underwater than ever before. 3 divers (me on a Pelagian with Evgeny Komko and Evgeny Sherbakov, both from Ukraine and using Inspirations bounced around the rocks at 152m trying not to laugh our loops out - all the action was caught on video which i will put on the web soon as i get a mo.

The next day we had a bimble to 182m again me and Pelagian and the two Evgeny's on slightly modified Inspirations. Deco ran 4hrs 30min after we found a new deep cave near the Bluehole...Pelagian wob was fine, despite an 8 min swim from 150m to 180m and then a long swim up the reef to 120m

George 'habibee of the deep' Ionita proved a very able support diver and carried all the treasure we found at depth (masks,snorkels,fins etc)

Will put up some screen grabs as soon as i get to grips with editing the HD footage

cheers, Mark

here are some screen grabs from the pogo stick dive...

plus an incredible pic from the dive centre boat - they are very DIR i think

when i saw the outboard it just made me think DIR - for strokes...you decide

ROFLMAO that DIR for strokes picture was the topping on the ice-cream for me ....

Hi Johan,

Im sure you will enjoy the Pelagian...I have finally edited the pogo stick video...will put some footage on my website first then some one can steal it for youtube as usual...im in the process of watermarking all the videos so at least there is a miniscule benefit for having them on pootoob

I will get the training dates from Roger Ingebo, maybe i can get a cheap flight and join the antics in Sweden and Norway

cya...M

Hi Mark!
You are most welcome!
But be prepared, we do not have warm beer, ugly women or Spotted Dick in Sweden.
Any news on the pogo video?

Cheers
Rodge
