BFDC BottomCam™

I love fish-watching as much as I love people-watching. It's one of the primary reasons I dive. It also appeals to my inner naturalist, cartoonist & first-grader! Fish are characters! I day-dream about what I am missing while exploring other parts of the wreck - with my nose in the view finder. Or when I am at work or on the surface, I wonder "what is going on down there? What cool fish is swimming by? Are they making fun of us?" Well, I decided to try an capture it. Thanks the to technology of miniature video cameras, I can now capture a brief BFDC "documentary" into the lives of the marine life off the NC coast. I find them highly entertaining and educational, but I also find it calming as a virtual "aquarium view" during those times of high stress! (Plus no feeding or cleaning of the tank required!)

Some technical notes: The videos were made with the GoPro HD Hero and Hero2 cameras, shot at either R5 (1920 x 1080, 30 fps) or R2 (1280 x 720, 30 fps). As the standard dome lens of the GoPro housing has an issue focusing underwater, I used either the recently released flat-lens housing produced by GoPro, the GoPro housing modified by Eye of Mine or the flat lens kit for the GoPro produced by Oculus to shoot these videos. These are HD (720p) capable (and recommended), so they work well at full screen. The video was edited using Apple Final Cut Pro X to show the more interesting or active parts, but in general, these are not heavily edited and are not intended to "tell a story". It is also quite interesting (and amusing!) to play the videos at 2x or "fast forward" speeds in your YouTube player. (google it for how!) It shows fish swimming and schooling patterns more easily.

2014-07-20 This is BFDCBottomCAM episode was on the Monohan, a sailing ship that was wrecked off of Cape Hatteras, NC. It is in 100 ft of water. Part 1 of the episode was pointed at an oyster toadfish that was sitting in from of the ships anchor. The 2nd part (10:58) was in front of a sea anemone
2014-07-20 This is BFDCBottomCAM episode was on the Proteus, a cargo-passenger ship that was wrecked off of Cape Hatteras, NC. It is in 125 ft of water. The camera was placed on top of one of the boilers.
2014-07-06-2b BFDC BottomCAM camera #2 part B. The second part of the cleaning station video. Recorded on the wreck of the WE Hutton, located south of Cape Lookout, NC, in 120 feet of water. The recording took place on July 6, 2014, two days after Hurricane Arthur came through the area. I found the fish interaction as they parked themselves at the cleaning station very interesting. There are a couple of lion fish "selfies" in the beginning & then the cleaning action starts with the grouper & snapper. Look of changes of the color by the group, the flaring of gills & opening of mouths as the small cleaner fish do their job: - Lionfish closeups (00:01) - Grouper comes in to be cleaned (03:00) - Grunt joins the cleaning station (04:40) - Grouper being cleaned including color change and gill flares (08:00) - Grouper being bumped by another grouper with color change (14:30) - two Grouper at once (19:00) - cobia swims by (28:00) - two big snappers swim by (30:00; 44:00)
2014-07-06-2a BFDC BottomCAM camera #2 part A. This episode was recorded on the wreck of the WE Hutton, located south of Cape Lookout, NC, in 120 feet of water. The recording took place on July 6, 2014, two days after Hurricane Arthur came through the area. The camera was placed pointing to what appears to be a cleaning station. I found the fish interaction as they parked themselves at the cleaning station very interesting. There are a couple of lion fish "selfies" in the beginning & then the cleaning action starts with the grouper & snapper. Look of changes of the color by the group, the flaring of gills & opening of mouths as the small cleaner fish do their job: - Lionfish closeups (00:01) - Grouper comes in to be cleaned (03:00) - Grunt joins the cleaning station (04:40) - Grouper being cleaned including color change and gill flares (08:00) - Grouper being bumped by another grouper with color change (14:30) - two Grouper at once (19:00) - cobia swims by (28:00) - two big snappers swim by (30:00; 44:00)
2014-07-06-1a Recorded on the wreck of the WE Hutton which sits off of Cape Lookout, NC in 120 feet of water. The tanker Hutton was a WW2 U-boat victim. The camera was placed just aft of the bow end of the wreck. The dive took place on July 6, 2014, two days after Hurricane Arthur came through - which explains the milky water. If you like grouper & snappers you will love this episode. The camera seems to have been placed on a grouper highway or tunnel - particularly the dark opening in the wreck on the left of the screen. A curious "small" warsaw grouper (about 3 ft) opens the scene. One of the largest non-shark fish I have ever seen - a cubera snapper - is also recorded. Numerous large gag grouper (ragged tails) and other grouper frequent the scene. Goliath Grouper (probably a warsaw grouper): 00:10; 03:08; 05:02; 05:42; 06:27; Red Snapper: 01:27; 02:14; 04:40; 09:04; 10:00; 12:30; 17:54; Gag Grouper: 01:34; 03:00; 03:40; 04:27; 08:23; 09:00; 11:07; 11:40; 12:50; 14:08; 16:49; 20:00; 21:34; 23:43; 25:45 Cubera Snapper: 15:54; 16:27; 18:04;
2014-06-29 This BFDC BottomCam episode was recorded on June 29, 2014 on the wreck of the DIXIE ARROW. The "Arrow" sits in 90 feet of water south of Cape Hatteras. The camera was placed on the top of the engine, looking out over the lower section of the engine into the open water. I like the rhythm of the schools of baitfish as they compress, expand and swirl when they sense the approaching groups of feeding jacks.
2014-06-29 This BFDC BottomCam episode was recorded on June 29, 2014 on the wreck of the FW ABRAHMS, a WW2 victim, south of Cape Hatteras in 70 feet of water. The camera was placed on top of one of engine valves. I like that this recording has two "stage": one up close, where the small fish come back and forth, and the second in the background where the schools of fish and attacking jacks (and sharks) come cruising through.
2014-06-28 This BFDC BottomCam episode was recorded on June 29, 2014 on the wreck of the KESHENA, a WW2 victim. The Keshena was a tug that hit a friendly mine while towing a u-boat victim to safety. The wreck sits in 90 feet of water. The camera was placed on the starboard side of the wreck pointing towards the outside of the wreck. The camera "watches" the movements of a oyster toadfish which is hiding in a hole in the wreck. I like the sounds of the oyster toadfish during this video and the background baitfish and feeding activity happening all around the camera. I keep expecting the toadfish to jump up and grab one of the small minnows.
2014-06-27b This BFDC BottomCam episode was recorded on June 27, 2014 on the wreck of the Kassandra Louloudis . The wreck site sits in 60 feet of water on Diamond Shoals off of Cape Hatteras. Lots of up-close-and-personal trigger fish and tatougs;
2014-06-27a This BFDC BottomCam episode was recorded on June 27, 2014 on the wreck of the Kassandra Louloudis . The camera is placed on the port side of the wreck, just aft of the engine remains, facing the middle of the wreck. The sea bass, little snappers and other smallish fish are quite active doing "selfies" in this video -- which is always amusing; the background "honking" of the oyster toadfish is also quite soothing; spadefish come by at around 8:00; stingray flaps through at 8:50;
2014-06-15 This edition of the BFDC BottomCam was recorded on the wreck of the W.E. Hutton (previously thought to be the Papoose) in 120 ft of water off of Cape Lookout NC. The camera was placed on the stern fantail, pointing towards the keel, prop shaft and rudder. The visibility this day was particularly good, well over 100 feet, so you can see quite a distance up the wreck -- once the fish get out of the way!.
2014-06-14 This BFDC BottomCam episode was recorded on June 14, 2014 on the wreck of the Caribsea . The wreck is 90 ft of water off of Cape Lookout NC. The camera was placed in two places near the bow during the dive. The longest view (2nd placing) was pointing at the remains of the bow post of the wreck. The initial view was looking out from the edge of the wreck into the darkish "green" water towards the shadows of the passing sharks. The dominant fish activity are the schooling fish - grunts and bait as they swirl around the sandtiger sharks that are passing thru.

2013-07-27B This edition of the BFDC BottomCam was recorded on the wreck of the W.E. Hutton (previously thought to be the Papoose) in 120 ft of water off of Cape Lookout NC. I like the shapes and rhythms of the schools of tomtate grunts as they slowly move in and out against the wreck. Other highlights are: - large Gag Grouper (02:19; 03:57) - sandtiger shark swim-by (04:46)
2013-07-27 This BFDC BottomCam episode was recorded on July 27, 2013 on the wreck of the W.E. Hutton (formerly thought to be the Papoose). The wreck is 120 ft of water off of Cape Lookout NC. The camera is placed near the stern of the upside down wreck. The dominant fish activity are the various groups of tomtate grunts.

2013-07-06 The BFDC BottomCam episode was recorded on the wreck of the Tamaulipas. The wreck is also known as the Far East Tanker. This is the stern section. It sits in 150 feet of water off of Cape Lookout, NC. I like the "set" and background of this recording - a great viz day on the FET and you can see lots of the big structure at the stern. And in addition to the usual tomtate grunts and spot tail pinfish, some uncommon fish species make some regular appearances. - Speckled hind - NC waters hold the world record at 64 lb (0:00; 03:10 - American Red Snapper (01:55; 02:26; 03:37; 03:51; 04:26; 04:53; 05:21; 07:52; 08:40; 09:29) - Cubbyu (10:45)

2013-07-05 This episode of the BFDC BottomCam™ was recorded on 2013-07-05 on the wreck of the Papoose (really the W.E. Hutton) off of Cape Lookout, NC. The wreck sits in 120 ft of water and lying mostly intact, but upside down. The camera was placed aft of the bow area on the port side of the wreck (starboard side of the ship). Starts with a group of curious tomtate grunts gathering around the camera which continues off and on through out the episode.

Timeline and other highlights: - lionfish (00:32; 02:25; 04:13; - soapfish (02:42; 03:35; - various groupers - foreground and background (03:00; 03:18; 05:29; 06:25; 07:04; 07:26; 08:54; 09:04; 09:48; 10:24; 10:54; 11:45; 11:55; 12:25) - sandtiger shark (08:03;at end) - unidentified large grunt? (11:15)
2013-07-04 This episode of the BFDC BottomCam™ was recorded on dive site of an artificial reef. The ship sunk was the Aeolus. It sits in 110 feet of water off of Cape Lookout NC. The camera was placed in the stern section on a deck one level down from the top deck. Sand tiger sharks and a small group of bluefish are captured as they ride the currents coming thru the ship and come in and out of the ambient light coming thru the opening in the top deck.
2013-06-16C This BottomCam™ episode was recorded on the wreck of the U-352 off of Cape Lookout on May 16, 2013. The wrecks sits in 110 ft of water. It looks like the BottomCam fell victim to the nasty triggerfish again. It got knocked off its original placement, so the clip you see has 3 different locations. The original, the result from the triggerfish attack and where I put it once I noticed it. Fish "visitors" and activity include: Tomtate Grunt (00:01 continuous) Gray trigger fish (00:15, 02:22, 03:53, 05:07); ATTACK on the BottomCAM™! (01:05); Black Sea Bass (01:15 continuous); Bank Sea Bass (01:15 continuous); Spotted Moray (01:35 - lower right corner behind the sea bass, continuous); Spot-tail Pinfish (02:15 continuous); Slippery Dick Wrasse (03:01, 12:03); Re-location of BottomCam™ (07:20); Lionfish (12:32); Amberjack feeding (13:12);
2013-06-16B This BottomCam™ episode was recorded on the wreck of the Schurz off of Cape Lookout on May 16, 2013. See notes for episode 2013-06-16A below. This gives a somewhat broader perspective on the schools of predators and gives a better view of the tuna. The swimming motion of the tuna is very distinctive. The attack action are at 03:50, 05:40, 07:00, 09:40 and 15:30.
2013-06-16A This BottomCam™ episode was recorded on the wreck of the Schurz off of Cape Lookout on May 16, 2013. The wrecks sits in 110 ft of water. One of the characteristics of this wreck is that it is usually covered in schools of small fish. Various small grunts and baitfish. So many that you often can't even see the wreck! The recording gives you that sense. There are almost two separate "envelopes" of fish surrounding the wreck. The small baitfish that swarm around & above the wreck & the small grunts (mostly tomtates) that gather closer to the wreck structure. These two "envelopes" interact & react. A certain rhythm exists. IT all busts apart as the bigger predators come in to feed - the amberjacks, little tunnies, & I think blue runners. As you watch the smaller fish, you get a "premonition" of the approaching attack as the smaller fish start getting nervous & speed up. And just when you think the fish are moving fast, they step it up even more. Blindingly fast & motivated by survival. The attacks starting at 09:15, 11:30 and 17:30.
2013-06-15C This BottomCam™ episode was recorded on the wreck of the Porta Allegra aka Lobster Wreck on June 15, 2013. It sits between Cape Lookout and Cape Fear NC and is in 120 ft of water. Due to a variety of circumstances, the camera got moved around a bit during the dive, so I just combined the multiple locations into one clip. We also had some "BottomCam™ Bombing" going on. It appears that fish aren't the only ones who like to get their picture taken! A small group of tomtate grunts are in the center but other fish *AND* non-fish move in and out: Blue Angelfish (00:01, 00:21, 02:20, 04:10, 07:10); spanish hogfish (00:05, 00:54, 01:10, 02:00, 07:30); black sea bass (00:15); atlantic spade fish (00:55, 06:19); Queen Angelfish (02:11, 02:50, 06:25); Mystery GoPro user (05:45); hog snapper (06:25); juvenile angelfish - french? (06:49); Mystery Mate (07:40); Knobbed Porgy (08:10); Odd-Armed Bomber (08:30)

2012-10-14C This episode was recorded on the wreck of the tanker Dixie Arrow, at a depth of 90 feet off of Ocracoke Island, NC. This is from the 2nd dive on October 14, 2012. The camera was placed underneath the lip of the starboard edge of the wreck. Lots of little fish - grunts, sea bass and a trigger fish that keeps pecking at the camera!
2012-10-14B This episode was recorded on the wreck of the tanker Dixie Arrow, at a depth of 90 feet off of Ocracoke Island, NC. This is from the 2nd dive on October 14, 2012. The camera was placed near the memorial marker for Richie Pryor. It is good to see that Richie is not alone!
2012-10-14A This episode was recorded on the wreck of the tanker Dixie Arrow, at a depth of 90 feet off of Ocracoke Island, NC. This is from the 2nd dive on October 14, 2012. The camera was placed on the starboard edge of the wreck, near the stern, and is looking at the engine. The gap between the edge of the wreck and the engine services as travel way for a lot different fish - barracuda, sharks, divers and even a sea turtle at around 2:30
2012-08-25D This episode was recorded on the wreck of the freighter Caribsea, at a depth of 90 feet off of Cape Lookout, NC. This is from the 2nd dive on August 25, 2012. The camera was placed on the top of the engine of the wreck and is looking out to the side of the wreck. If you look closely, you can spot a group of what appears to be juvenile barracuda mixed within the baitfish.
2012-08-25C This episode was recorded on the wreck of the freighter Caribsea, at a depth of 90 feet off of Cape Lookout, NC. This is from the 2nd dive on August 25, 2012. The camera was placed on the top of the engine of the wreck and is looking down the length of the engine. A small group of triggerfish are constantly pecking at the camera.
2012-08-25B This episode was recorded on the wreck of the freighter Caribsea, at a depth of 90 feet off of Cape Lookout, NC. This is from the 2nd dive on August 25, 2012. The camera was placed on the top of the engine of the wreck and is looking to the side of the wreck.
2012-08-25A This episode was recorded on the wreck of the freighter Caribsea, at a depth of 90 feet off of Cape Lookout, NC. This is from the 2nd dive on August 25, 2012. The camera was placed on the top of the bow post of the wreck which seemed to be a central focal point for the swirling and pulsing massive schools of baitfish that were covered the wreck. For most of the dive, you couldn't see more than 1 foot in front of you because of the number of baitfish. Above the wreck and above and within the baitfish schools were dozens and dozens of large female sandtiger sharks. Adding to the action were schools of spanish mackerel and little tunny that scattered the schools of baitfish as they cut through schools to feed. This episode gives a fishes-eye view of what is like to be in the middle a school of baitfish while sharks were slowing swimming by and other fish were feeding.
2012-08-05B This episode of the BFDC BottomCam™ was recorded on the wreck of the tanker Dixie Arrow, at a depth of 90 feet off of Ocracoke, NC. The camera was placed amidships. There is an interesting "smoking" event that is taking place during this entire recording - maybe a spawn or spore release event? A couple of close-up fish encounters, shark swim-bys and even a barracuda feeding the background.
2012-08-05A This episode was recorded on the wreck of the passenger-freighter Proteus, at a depth of 130 feet off of Ocracoke, NC. The camera was placed on the prop shaft looking down the shaft at the stern. There were scads of sharks on the wreck that day and I was hoping to get a few good swim-bys. Got a couple and also good recording of divers coming back and forth on the wreck.
2012-08-04B This episode of the BFDC BottomCam™ was recorded on the wreck of the British Splendour, at a depth of 100 feet off of Ocracoke, NC. The camera was placed amidships on the starboard side of the wrecksite. There was an interesting encounter with a large stingray in the beginning of the recording, prior to the camera being put in its stationary position. The stingray later settled into camera range and stayed there during the first part of the recording.
2012-08-04A This episode was recorded on the wreck of the US submarine TARPON, at a depth of 130 feet off of Ocracoke, NC. The camera was moved right at the beginning and is located near where the conning tower. I think the shaft you see in front of the camera is the remains of a conning tower mast - not sure its function. At about 3 minutes in there is cool swim-by from one of the numerous sandtiger sharks on the wreck…look on the left side of the screen
2011
2011-10-22B The "B" camera; This is a long one, not broken up into parts. It was recorded on the wreck of the Porta Allegra, aka Lobster Wreck, at a depth of 120 feet off of Wilmington, NC. The camera was on the bottom for over 2 hrs. There are lots of curious fish in this one and thus a lot of close passes and "in your face" shots.. Angelfish, butterfly fish, puffers, soapfish, lionfish, groupers are among the closeups that happen during this episode.
2011-10-22A3 Part 3 of the "A" camera; Continuation of the episode recorded on the wreck of the Porta Allegra, aka Lobster Wreck, at a depth of 120 feet off of Wilmington, NC. This timeline watches the movements of a small school grunts as the move back and forth thru the scene.
2011-10-22A2 Part 2 of the "A" camera. This episode was recorded on the wreck of the Porta Allegra, aka Lobster Wreck, at a depth of 120 feet off of Wilmington, NC. This timeline watches the movements of a small school grunts as the move back and forth thru the scene. There some interesting mouth-to-mouth "behavior" between several members of the school during this part. Footage also includes angelfish, hogfish and diver action, including harvesting of lionfish. There some interesting vocalizations about 8-9 minutes in. Be careful what you say down there. All microphones should be considered live!
2011-10-22A1 This episode was recorded on the wreck of the Porta Allegra, aka Lobster Wreck, at a depth of 120 feet off of Wilmington, NC. We did two dives on the site, so I was able to leave the BottomCam™s running between dives and got over 2 hrs of footage from each camera. The Lobster Wreck is one of the most tropical wrecks off of NC. Lots of colorful reef fish to watch. I had a hard time editing this footage down since I found everything interesting! This is part 1 from this camera. Lots of tropicals, angelfish, background diver action, groups of grunts and numerous wrasses and damselfish.
2011-08-20A This episode was recorded on the wreck of the Dixie Arrow at 90 feet off of Cape Hatteras. It isn't the ideal spot to study small fish movement, a little bit too exposed in the current, but with the current, hazy viz and big schools of baitfish and predators that come thru, it captures the "high energy" aspect of NC diving that only a video camera can. Sand tiger comes to visit during this episode.
2011-08-20B This episode was recorded on the wreck of the F. W. Abrams at 70 feet off of Cape Hatteras. I had the move the camera part way thru as some divers from another boat came a long and "discovered" a camera just laying on the bottom. I did get to record some Atlantic Spadefish as the result.
2011-08-21A This episode was recorded on the wreck of the British Splendour and highlights the activity of an 8 inch Bank Sea Bass. It is interesting how he (she?) keeps coming back to the same spot even if scared off of it briefly. I also like the natural sound -- the creaking of the anchor line and the honk of the oyster toadfish
2011-08-21B This episode was recorded on the wreck of the British Splendour The structure that the camera is focused on is the flow control valve that sits on the starboard side of the wreck in the midship section of the wreck. There a couple of passes of a barracuda in this episode and one is really close. Glimpse of a tautog at the end. The wreck is located off of Ocracoke, NC and sits in 100-105 feet of water.
