Yesterday I snorkeled for some Leland Blues. My total haul of Blues amounted to around 10 pounds of slag with a few petoskey stones added into the mix. I'd have more video if I had remembered my extra batteries so the video is sadly cut short! Enjoy what little there is of my adventure!

The OCD in me would make me have to pick up every stone and look at it! No way would I be able to swim over them as fast as you did!

Clever system using the chlorine dispenser, thanks for the video! Thank you! I got the idea from old abalone/pearl divers. For mine I drilled a hole into the bottom, put a plastic screw through it, and attached a swivel to the end. The swivel is attached to me through a swimming tether (made for practicing swimming techniques) and to my waist with a velcro belt. It basically allows me to snorkel for stones without ever needing to hold anything in my hands! My particular filter has a max capacity of 5-6 pounds. Even when the filter sinks due to weight, the filter will reach a state called 'neutral buoyancy' where the filter is neither sinking nor floating.

That was a fun watch! I'll agree with the "atta-boy" on the chlorine dispenser! Genius! I felt like I was watching a Discovery Channel show!
