It's been a busy old year for c-19. New member Jo Murphy is training away for her Britannic trip later on in the year. We're in pre-production for a new DVD, an open circuit technical dive skills DVD to compliment the CCR DVD. We're currently looking for equipment sponsors, if you're interested then please click on the 'media' button for more information.

We've also been busy making promo DVDs for Scadinavian Dive company Oxygène. Check out their You Tube channel for great rebreather friendly diving: www.youtube.com/user/oxygenediving or alternatively have a look at www.oxygenediving.com

projectARCH was a great success. We captured the worlds deepest spherical image. TEKcam worked well and has gone in for some modifications before general release later on in 2008. Rick Stanton is currently playing about with the prototype and we're looking forward to getting some feedback. Check out the results of projectARCH and see what draws so many divers to this dive site:

projectARCH (September 9th-16th 2007)

The c-19 team is about to embark on a project taking deep panoramics. The location chosen for this groundbreaking picture is the Arch at the Blue Hole in Dahab, Red Sea, South Sinai, Egypt. To be able to take the whole natural architecture of this unique spot in one photograph c-19 will need to take this picture at a depth of 100m. The site will be shot in 360 degrees and then later, using software programmes, put together to form one image.

Crispin Brake (project Creative Director) has brought together not only the latest technologies but also the finest equipment and staff that the diving industry has to offer.

c-19 will also introduce a new camera system (‘TEKcam’), a concept system for deep water filming.

Dan Burton (underwater photographer) will be at depth to take this shot of a lifetime.

Rifat Guerboy (technical diver) is managing logistics and will model for the photo taken at the bottom of the Blue Hole.

Adam Butler (photographer) will document the whole project.

Jo Murphy (support diver) will assure the safety of the deep divers.
Of course, thanks to CCR no bubbles will spoil this image.
