00:00:00
one of the the first things we did and
00:00:01
and because we had a lot of this really
00:00:03
good footage is we put together a DVD
00:00:05
they went around the world and one of
00:00:07
those DVDs got into the hands of a
00:00:09
producer at the BBC and he wanted to
00:00:11
know how we got this incredible M
00:00:13
footage he said look if you could please
00:00:15
tell me what camera you were using what
00:00:17
underwater housing what lenses and what
00:00:19
propulsion unit you were using to get
00:00:21
right up close to these M cuz we're were
00:00:23
really struggling and I said oh mate
00:00:25
camera is a Panasonic handicam I got for
00:00:27
a wedding present the housing is a bit
00:00:28
of drain pipe from under my my house I
00:00:30
siliconed a bit of ppix on the front of
00:00:32
it I drilled a hole and got an eye
00:00:34
dropper and made that waterproof so I
00:00:36
could hit the on off button I didn't
00:00:38
need a propulsion unit to get close to
00:00:39
the Maron I just make the Maron come
00:00:41
close to me and I do that by toing lures
00:00:44
behind the boat when they come up I jump
00:00:46
into the water with live baits tied to
00:00:48
my arms and then the M are trying to eat
00:00:50
off of my arms and I've just got to hold
00:00:52
my [ __ ] together enough and not drop my
00:00:54
nuts with these M racing around and he
00:00:56
said mate if you don't want to tell me
00:00:58
that's fine
