 SQUIDMAN: Scott Cassell, the intrepid
Underwater Filmmaker and Naturalist, has become one of the leading
world experts on the powerful and voracious Humboldt Squid, an animal
whose domain appears to be expanding.
Scott used the DSPL LED-SeaLites® and a
prototype DSPL Night Vision Camera to get shots in the dark green
waters off Santa Rosalia, Sea of Cortez, Mexico
for a new Discovery Channel documentary now being aired called
"Squid Invasion," produced by Creative Differences. With
this new camera technology, Scott was able to unobtrusively film the
Humboldt Squid displaying natural behaviors never before seen by
human eyes.
Scott called the white DSPL LED-SeaLites®,
"incredibly awesome!" and looks to film a feeding frenzy of
Humboldt Squid at night in white light to compare their behavior
filmed with the DSPL Night Vision camera. "It is suspected they
will behave more aggressively in white light because they will be
more hurried. The DSPL LED-SeaLites®
is the finest light I have ever used," said Scott.
"It is durable, broad beamed and clear white color. It worked
perfectly for use with the night vision system. I would spot the
squid with the light, then turn it off for
the NV to capture images. The light is perfect for HD video"

Pressure
Facilities
|
|
 A high pressure job:
"Good guys!,"
said Chad Wiebe, a mechanical engineer with
Progeny Systems, about DeepSea Power & Lights Pressure Testing
Team. Progeny came by to use DSPL's
pressure testing facility to validate a deepwater design they are
working on. "DeepSea was flexible with scheduling, and
interested in my project," said Chad.
"Two of their engineers reviewed our test plan and made helpful
suggestions in order to use parts they already had on hand.
There was convenient access to the pressure testing area and a tie-in
to their network for data logging."
A new 20"ID x 48" x 23ksi chamber will be on-line in Spring
of 2009.
You can find out about DeepSea's six
pressure chambers, by calling Ed Vega at
(858) 430-4337.

Never Say
Never Outfitted with 18" LED Thru-Hull SeaLite®
|
|
"Love The Lights!," says the
owner of Never Say Never, a 70' motor yacht outfitted with four of
DeepSea Power & Light's new Blue 18 LED Thru-Hull SeaLites®. The boat owner recently sent the
company a few photos of the lights in action while crossing from the
Turks and Caicos Islands to Fajardo, Puerto Rico.
One of the most stunning photos shows the blue LED lights
illuminating the wash behind the boat while it is planing
at high speed.
This is possible because the 18 LED Thru-Hull SeaLite®
has special thermal compensation circuitry that automatically
regulates the temperature of the LEDs,
allowing them to run fine in a frothy wake, or even air, a feature
lacking in most other LED underwater boat lights. So, the fun
never stops!

 Lights
brings happy attention: The owner of Last Tango (Dana Point,
CA) wrote DSPL Thru-Hull SeaLites® Sales
Manager, Erik Goodin, to say, "Erik, the lights look
awesome!"
"The boat was in a slip right next to the boardwalk in Dana
Point and when we were outfitting it and working at night we couldn't
even turn them on we got so many interruptions and
questions."
Last Tango is a 28' Luhrs fitted with
2 eye-popping Blue 18 LED Thru-Hull SeaLites®.
