Jean-Michel Cousteau's "Sharks at Risk"

[BKP]

Great Jean-Michel Cousteau episode on right now: "Sharks at Risk." Should have been on Discovery during 'Shark Week.'

However, best part of the show, was a drift they did in a channel at an estimated 4 or 5 knots... They shot along, with the reef as reference, as if they had rocket powered DPV's. Looked like an *incredible* ride... Ulong channel speed...

Has anyone done a drift like that (and if so, where)?

I have refused to watch Shark Week for some time, although I hear this year they did more presentations of a truly educational nature. I remember that segment in Jean-Michel's episode. I've done similar dives but with currents more in the 2.5-3 knot range. I'm a fast water wussy.
