"Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face And stars

"Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
And stars fill my dream
I'm a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been"

Photogrammetry model of the SBD Dauntless of Pacif

Photogrammetry model of the SBD Dauntless of Pacific Beach, California (if you look close you will see a wolf eel in one of the piston cylinders).

Eighty years ago today, Aug 24 1943, US Navy radio man third class Richard H. Moore and Captain William Parks Jr. were on a routine training mission when something went horribly wrong and they crashed their SBD Dauntless BuNo 4563 into the Pacific Ocean off San Diego, California. Both men died in the crash. Richard H. Moore was on his delayed honeymoon. The detailed blog post with photos and the online 3D model is at:

Cool new stickers with the F8F-2 Bearcat photogram

Cool new stickers with the F8F-2 Bearcat photogrammetry image in the background. For anybody who doesn't grok the "Second Element" part of the name, maybe this will help. :) I'll leave some on the Marissa and Sundiver next time I dive with them.

Map of the airplanes around the USS Saratoga (CV-3

Map of the airplanes around the USS Saratoga (CV-3) in Bikini Atoll.

I've published a post that has a ton of information & history of the airplanes that are around the Sara. It includes photos, a map of the wrecks, photogrammetry models, etc. I was on a Dirty Dozen Expeditions trip and had the opportunity to work on some cool projects. The detailed blog post is at:

Interesting perspective on the stern of the USS Ar

Interesting perspective on the stern of the USS Arkansas (BB-33) in Bikini Atoll.

This is the port side of the ship with props visible (inboard extending through the middle of the pic and the outboard on the left) and a ton of small fish. Note the sand in the "groove" in the hull. This wreck was very close to the epicenter of the second "Baker" atomic test. The massive force "dented" and "rippled" the 11+ inch thick armor plating in between the hull beams. The USS Arkansas served in both WW 1 and WW II and participated in both the Iwo Jima and Okinawa invasions. The detailed blog post about the USS Arkansas with more photos is at:

The "infamous" wall in the forward elevator shaft

The "infamous" wall in the forward elevator shaft of the USS Saratoga (CV-3) in Bikini Atoll.

This is the entry point for most penetration dives on the Sara. One of my projects on my recent trip was to build a photogrammetry model to replace the previous photo which was really hard to "decipher" in my opinion. Hopefully this is a lot clearer and will help future divers. I have provided it to the Master Liveaboard crew. I think it is an interesting and cool use of photogrammetry. The detailed blog post about how I created it is at:

USS Moray (SS-300) Photogrammetry Model

As promised, here is the full photogrammetry model of the USS Moray (SS-300) submarine from our recent expedition. The model took four dives and consists of 4,000 photos.

Link to the blog post with all of the details, some interesting archaeological finds, and links to the “live” online model.

I’ve been working with the team at Atomontage to put three of my high resolution airplane wreck photogrammetry models online. We just completed a case study. Check it out:

They have added a "fog" effect so it almost is like you would feel when you dive a wreck whereby as you get closer, it gets more detail and color.

USS Moray (SS-300) Submarine

Last week I posted a photo of my dive gear getting ready for an epic and literally a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. We just got back from 5 dives on the USS Moray which is a Balao-class submarine in 190 feet of water off Wilson Cove in San Clemente Island. The area is restricted by the Navy 24 x7 x 365.

Tyler and I were able to secure special permission from the Navy and we are only the second dive team to ever dive the wreck and it has been 11 years since the original team dove it in 2012.

The complete trip report is posted at the link below with a ton of photos and information about the trip. I will be publishing a photogrammetry model in the next few days that is amazing.

“I don’t know where I’m going But I sure kno

“I don’t know where I’m going
But I sure know where I’ve been”

We are under a self-imposed “information embargo” for this trip, but I’m hoping it will be epic. You know it is going to be a good dive trip when your clothes and toiletries are 5% of the cargo load (lower right bag in the photo).

Two cameras, two housings, four video lights, two strobes, two drysuits, two sets of undergarments, two drysuit inflation bottles, three sets of rebreather tanks, three bailout tanks, scooter, miscellaneous dive gear, laptop, and spares for pretty much everything. One rEvo.

I will be publishing follow-on posts for each of the wrecks that we visited.

This was my United app flight tracking screen while I was in Kwajalein trying to get back home. I eventually made it, but it wasn't an easy journey. More posts from my epic trip to Bikini coming up in the near future.

What do we have here? Looks like another plane wreck off the coast of California. Stay tuned...

TBF-1 Propeller with Strawberry Anemones

I've been doing a lot of work with very high resolution photogrammetry models. In this example, it is propeller from a wreck off Point Loma, California. When you zoom in, you can literally see the little follicles on each anemone.

More info on the wreck and links to the on-line photogrammetry model are at:

Another closeup of the detail in the latest version of the photogrammetry model. I hope to make this level of detail available in an on-line model in the near future. Note the detail on the coral near the flap on wing.

I'll be giving a seminar on some of the new SoCal wrecks we have found and identified! It is Sunday, Jun 4th 11am-12pm at the Long Beach Scuba Show. Hope to see everybody there. Ticket info is at https://scubashow.com. #thescubashow
