I wondered about that too.

Fabulous program though, gives us mortals something to aim for when you see just how they looked in the water. (Looked good to me anyway)

I will add my voice to the commendations for this programme. I wouldn't have picked up on it if Matt had't posted, but I am very glad I watched it. I thought it was a nice balance of diving, geology, animal life and light archaeology.

The mix stopped any one bit from being too specialist, but i didn't feel they over-dramatised anything, or simplified it all too much.

The cavern shots were simply stunning - at that point I was thinking "I want to try that" - then I saw the wriggling bit and remembered why I didn't! It made me feel quite tight-chested, I found myself sat on the sofa taking big breaths, just because I could!

More programmes like this please, BBC

Lou

Me and the Mrs were having exactly the same reaction, pukka program.
Thanks Beeb and Matt

I should also metion that Reeve posted it, before me, which I never spotted, sadly he posted it in the Cave section Doh! and it looks like it was missed by most of us, not being cave divers I suppose. Although it does look very appealing now. So where exactly in the UK do we get viz and conditions like that?

It was a set-up shot. On the other side was a diver with a video camera and a ton of lighting. I'm pretty sure he didn't get through that slot

I taped it, well 99% of it anyway. I have already promised it to one YDer but after that anyone is welcome to it.
