Hammerheads at Cocos Island and MotionBox.com using Flex 2

DIGG IT!     4 Comments Published Wednesday, September 20, 2006 at 8:53 AM .

I have been meaning to post some of the video from my trip to Costa Rica in June but I am concerned many will think I am nuts. There were about 400 hammerhead sharks on this dive and Cocos Island is one of a handful of places where they school world-wide. During the dive a 14ft hammerhead swam within 10ft of me. Take a look at the MotionBox.com FLV Player below, that is Flex2! I will be posting my other videos to motionbox.

Hammerheads at Cocos Island

FYI: Every video of a shark we see has been edited to show the violent side of sharks feeding. In reality they are very peaceful animals and seeing them firsthand changes you. When you are face to face diving with them they are far from the monsters we frequently see on TV. The reality is that they are truly amazing creatures.

Get Certified and Go Diving!

Cheers,

Ted :)

    The video player is not embedded properly into the page for IE 6+ (PC). I am seeing the dreaded "click here to activate this control" message when I hover over the player. I love the information you are providing everyone, but this is a problem for the IE6+ PC users out there (all -80% of the internet- of us)

    Anon,

    The problem with crafting an embeded player is making work on a myriad scenarios. The javascript required to work around the "click to activate" issue is not allowed in many environments the embedded player is used in.

    Moveabletype, typepad, blogger, myspace, ebay, etc. all have different restrictions.

    There are many developers who'd like to know how to work around that.
