Has anyone watched this program? Every week they air a program about different wrecks and the mystery over how they sank. and they show a lot of diving, underwater archeology stuff. The other night they showed a new site on an ancient Greek ship that was found. The team consisted of all certified divers. They were so bad. One guy made a comment that this was his first saltwater dive. The leader of the team was medically unfit to dive, they made a point of that and how long it had been since he had been diving. He then decided he just had to start diving again to see the wreck. Gearing up you could see he wasnt sure how to even hook up his reg to his tank but then they made a comment about it was like riding a bike and you never forget. I heard at one point that they were making 140 ft dives and talking about 8 min deco obligations. Remember that a lot of these people had just learned to dive but were making deep dives and staying long enough to have to have to make deco stops. I never saw any PB/Wings but a bunch of doubles, no isolation valve, no independent second regs. I even saw one diver that had his tank configured upside down. My question is why these shows always have the worst divers? Is it because they have to rely on volunteer help or that the general non-diving public doesnt know how bad they are.
