Shark Cable Inspection Part 1

Shark Cable Inspection Part 1

We have the shark camera ready to go back down and now need to get the cables repaired. I tried to pull them up, but they were stuck! After a bit of looking with a dropped GoPro on a string and I can see they are wrapped around the underwater pipes. That’s because the current rotates each day and it, sure enough, did a good job of locking them in!

Well, it’s like many projects. Two steps forward, one step back, or in this case 50’ under! Part 2 is unwrapping them while I say “hi!” to my shark friends!
