I knew there were alligators in this pond, so I sent the Spark out to investigate..
Alligator hunting with the Spark

Hello from the Mid-West, CousinLarry.
We don't have alligators in my neck of the woods which is a good thing as I enjoy water fun with my PWC in our fresh water lakes and rivers.

Wow, that is really great footage. (except of course if you had to go in after a crashed Spark!) Love that you can see ripples from the prop wash in some of the shots... you're a gambler!
I know alligators aren't as aggressive as crocs, but I wonder if they can leverage a jump from shallow water like I've seen crocs do to grab an animal off the edge of water. It would however make a great last shot, only in 720 though, since the Spark would be swallowed.
Also, I wonder if animals are ever thinking, what the heck is that big bee?

Awesome!
I need to do the same back in my home town!
Gators everywhere.
Not as aggressive as Crocs?
Try coming up on a nest of babies

Man, my heart was pumping the whole time just waiting for him to do the death lunge at the Spark. Hahaa
Thanks for the good words! I went out today again to Lake Tarpon which is a huge lake. Spotted a big fat gator, about 10' or so. I think the video from yesterday came out better though so I'll spare you guys. Here's a picture though: Imgur
That was way cool!!
Not many Gators here in Michigan, but I am just infatuated with them...
Thanks for sharing!

Nice, next time put some fishing line on your spark with about 10 feet of line and put a small minnow on it and get footage of the gator jumping for it.... LOL
