Cave diving documentary??? Help me out!

[bigchris1983]

I saw this documentary on tv a few years back, before I even had considered going diving and was fascinated with it! I'd like to try and find it to watch it again, but despite my searching on the web, ive not had any luck.

It was a doco about this guy who went cave diving in the Florida Caves, and how he'd mapped out this massive long cave and gone deeper and deeper. He had tanks stationed at different points, and ended up in this massive chamber of darkness where they didnt want to go any further and turned back.

Had some interesting stuff in it about the caves, and how some people had died in it, and footage of the signs saying do not enter etc etc.

It wasn't the Dave Shaw recovery doco, it was a few years before that was released, maybe around 1999-2000?

Anyone got any ideas? It went for about an hour, from memory.

Not sure on that one. Hopefully someone will know. I would like to see it.

It might have been one of the earlier WKPP efforts (Woodinville Karst Plain Project)

You might find more about it here: About The WKPP | Global Underwater Explorers

From doing a bit of snooping around, I'm pretty sure its called: uncharted waters: florida's aqua caves. But can't find an active link anywhere of it. Anyone got anything?

A Google search gave me a couple of sites with Torrent downloads of this program.

I just found it! It's called Uncharted Waters - Florida's aqua caves. There is only 1 active torrent link that I can find, and it goes to 97% and then can't find the rest of the information. If anyone has any ideas, let me know!

Negative. Ben died years after the documentary in question came out. Oh, and Ben never came out.
