Howard Hall

Howard Hall has been busy doing what he does best, making films. Howard explains what he is doing, "In the photos, I'm using OTS Communications to discuss equipment requirements for our next shot. We usually have lights, tripod, weights and more on the bottom. I can call for what I want. If we don't have it down already, it's sent down from the boat. Once set up, I use OTS voice communications to direct the action".

OTS has built many custom communication systems for Howard. Actually, Howard was the first to use our LAR-5 Special Warfare Adapter. It started out as an adapter for Howard, Bob and Mark's MK-15.5 rebreathers.

DEEP SEA

The Deep Sea is moored in Huntington Harbor, California. It is owned by Mike Pelissier. The comfortable 36' boat is setup for 12 divers with enough tank racks to hold 26 scuba bottles.  The cabin was custom designed with a large table making it easy for a director or tender to organise surface support equipment (i.e. monitors, recording decks, radios, eta.). Mike was asked, why did you buy a dive boat for a personal boat? Mike: "I like diving." "If you look around at my neighbours boats, you see lots of boats setup for fishing, rocket launchers, out riggers, down riggers, eta., - they like fishing, I like diving."

Mike's goal is to invite serious dealers who want to try underwater communications on a pleasure dive. Mike also has an open invitation to Search & Rescue Teams or Professional Organisations who would like to enjoy a day of underwater communications diving". "A day of diving beats being at the office!"
