Post# of 15369
On Sunday I had the public safety

divers seminar where I was one of the scheduled speakers. My topic was the use of underwater live feed video cameras for dive recovery operations, evidence documentation, search and recovery, - basically using the SEVU products in the PSD field. I gave each camera a name other than what sevu is calling them.

The mini-50's were called the "Divecam" since we are using it as an individual hand held camera for a diver. The 150's were called the "Deepcam", both IR and the new Seamaster, since we are using them to search deeper areas before putting divers in the water.

I was scheduled to start my presentation at 4pm and the entire schedule was running late by the time 4pm came around. I finally went on at 4:40pm and the seminar was scheduled to end at 5pm. Instead of me yapping and keeping everyone late, I grabbed two recent videos we made at a body recovery at Canyon lake and the construction accident at the Loop 337 bridge and just let them play on a big screen while I narrated.

I concluded at 5:10 and as the seminar let out, my table was crowded with divers and dive team commanders wanting to know how to get the "Divecam" and "Deepcam" for their dive teams. Some of them wanted to see more video than just the quick edited videos I presented. They were facinated with the camera and stayed much later than 5:30 watching the videos. The response was very encouraging and for this reason I have joined the seaview team as a dealer. I am now a dealer and have opened up a site at www.divecam.net to sell limited seaview products.

In the first day I sold 4 cameras (all mini-50's with added cord) to public safety dive teams with more orders in the works. I expect on-line orders to pick up even more once I have the capability to accept credit cards and get the web site advertized. It is obvious that there is a market for this type of camera in the PSD field.

Since I consider myself part of the team seaview now, I won't be writing much more on this thread other than occasional post to talk about war stories with the cameras in the field, or to answer some direct questions relating to the cameras and public safety dive recovery field. If you want to see actual underwater video taken during an operation with seaview cams, here is the site where I have added some short clips:

As you can see, the infrared adds about three times the visibility of the normal eye when diving in murky water. For those of you longs, keep the faith. This is an entirely new marketing campaign I have begun and as you know from my diving history, I am not one to quit until some records have been set. I will take this road as far as it can go. There may come a day when "Divecam" and "Deepcam" is a standard for PSD.

If that isn't enough, my wife Diverkath is working on becoming a secureview dealer. She is a school resource officer and has many connections throughout the school law enforcement community.

Good luck to all and send some interested divers to my new site.
