Yes, there is a videographer in the tank. The first part of the dive is lead, you follow the Dive Master, they used to take you over to the dive bell and everyone would get in and wave to the camera (I'm still upset they didn't put this back) now they swim you past that area, then you go past the restaurant and then if you have someone watching you dive, you head over to where your party is standing, the videographer will then get you and your family/friends waving! It's super cool! 8-) The DVD isn't cheap but what I like, is that 100% of the proceeds goes to Disney Conservation Fund. They've done alot of neat things for the sea life! Then the rest of the dive you just buddy up and enjoy! The awesome part is interacting the guests! It's a hoot!

Everything is going in the suitcases today! :D

Here's to hoping you get that dive in somehow... Can't believe you are going down in just a couple of days. Do you have any room in the suitcase for a few subsonic members? I am in dire need of a Disney vacation right now. Only been back or 5 weeks but it feels like months!

:lol: I'm sure he'll fit. He has demonstrated impressive contortionist skill before... ;)

I didn't know there was a videographer in the tank with you. That's pretty sweet! :D We've never witnessed it before and thought it might be fun to watch...and wouldn't it be even better if you happen to know a couple of those divers? ;)

I'm sending an extra heap of pixie dust to EPCOT for ya! Hopefully it will help you get to dive this time around!!!

Thanks Mmeleota! I called today just to check on Dive Quest, but it's still closed until Oct. 22. GRRRR! This CM said it was due to the water, they're trying to get it balanced again. That makes more sense to me. But, why does it have to unbalanced while we're there?!?! I still plan on calling everyday we're there! :wink:

I agree that you should call while you are down there. They might be able to get that water whipped into shape earlier than the 22nd!

I wanted to dive now and then again in Jan! :wink:

As long as we can dive in Jan. that is the more important date. We will have a large group in the tank!!! Can't wait!

I'm so psyched for tomorrow, it still seems like it's not real, tomorrow at this time we will already be there!!!!! 8-)

I will miss all of you, but promise to return promptly after our trip is over with a full report and pictures! :D

Pictures count for a lot on here ~ it is soooo nice to see things through others' eyes. Remember it is never too late to add to your reports either, unless you have forgotten everything :roll: :lol:
