The underwater web cam requires hard word and dedication so when I was on vacation I offered to help Jake clean the web cam, in other words an excuse to go diving. These photos were taken on August 17.

Here is how it is done:


Remove filter from camera


Jake cleans filter


Jake cleans algae from signs at web cam


All done, everything nice and clean.

Well, I'm in the water, might as well stay a while.

Thanks, Alan for posting the pictures. If Jake wasn't so committed to his role as web cam cleaner, we wouldn't have such wonderful pictures, so a big thank you!

Aha....I can see the beginnings of a new documentary or perhaps a new Reality Show right before our eyes! Web Cam Moments? Thanks! Carole

Nice lesson there....could there be a contest in the making? Like who cleans the cam (besides Jake) the most this coming year? Once the process is established I am sure there will be a lot of competition for this job!

Thank-you for posting the pics, it is neat to see the cam being cleaned from this angle!

Alan. Thanks for showing us exactly how it is done. I see that Picasso was there helping out too. Annie B.
