Divers Down TV show on Dish Network

[Pyrofish]

If you have Dish Network check out Divers Down, http://www.diversdowntv.com/.
According to their website, they have only been available to people outside of New England for a couple of months, but will soon be going to more and more cable operators in 2006. It's on channel 216 at 7:30, every day I think. 216 is normally a home shopping channel, but for brief periods they switch to the Water Channel.

They dive all over the world apparently, as the episodes I have seen have ranged from diving in a frozen waterfall pond, to Truk Lagoon. No matter what though, it's about diving, so it's worth watching.

I have been watching it. That guy must have learned to deliver with enthusiasm from Martha Stuart.

It is a neat show. Good to watch some SCUBA stuff since I have trouble finding "Underwater Detectives" episodes.

One thing-Why do all the people on the show dive with Snorkels? It totally stuck out. Is the show sponsored by a training agency, or do they think that they are being "responsible"?

I really like the cold water Canada episodes. I want to go up there now!

Sweet find, set the DVR to record ALL.

I've been recording and watching this for a couple months now. My only gripe (other than the presentation is about as dry as desert) is that they repeat the same episodes over and over. I've yet to see anything I have not seen recently, yet they say they have been doing the show for 19 years or something? Why then only about a dozen episodes?

Still, fun to watch even if lately I'm really not watching, more like deleting

Now I'll have to find a way to order episodes ... we don't get it.

I enjoy all 95 seconds of diving in each episode. I don't enjoy the rest.

It seems to be the same stuff over and over each week...........not that I watch it............someone just told me (wink wink). They need to do something different and exciting.......like feed an rusty old boat captain to a great white.......IT WAS A JOKE CAPTAIN.

So until next week.............

Happy Diving
