Wreck Detectives

[Mark Chase]

Well after a good start I thaught the marble slabs were a bit dull. However I enjoyed the last episode if only for watching the Navy diver trying to keep a streight face when faced with the melodramatic 'it is safe' questions.

You got a range of diving equipment this week too with the Navy boys on their inverts and one chap with a very odd looking Drager SCR on his back.
They wernt very good at hovering above the silt were they

Hope they do a ship wreck next week.

Do you think O Three will demand payment for the snazzy dry suit now that madam diver has stopped wearing their hood? I've never seen so many O Three adverts on a pair of gloves before................

Nautical archaeological point ?.....at least they werent even trying to measure things with a tape measure this week.

nah they got all technical looking down the propeller to see if it was straight instead

[nikos]

yes!.....so they could estimate the impact speed when the Sunderland sank at its moorings!

After watching melodramatic Miranda the other night, it was refreshing to go onto the National Geographic Channel on Tuesday evening and watch Clive Cusslers` team diving some 19th century Spanish Navy wrecks near Cuba. There was a bit of bull$hit, but considering the swell and variable viz, these guys just got in the water and dived. No drama, surface supply or tethers, they just went and did it. James Delgado, the underwater archaeologist even picked his way thru` a gun turret, with scant respect to the ocean surge that could have sent him headlong into an armour plated turret casing.

So come on Miranda and whatsisname, cut the melodrama, hype and advertising and just give us a straight forward documentary.

Never mind the O Three ad - what has happened to Miranda's earrings? Robert and I had a great drinking game last series - involving downing one whenever she was wearing a new pair - pleasantly p*ssed most episodes - this series we are only slightly merry!

I quite like her gloves. She is on the boat kitted up wearing gloves, goes down the shot line without the gloves, on the bottom gloves on again and so on and so on through the whole programme. The last episode with the plane is the only thing up to now I'd bother kitting up for. Looking forward to the sub dives with Innes Mcartney though.

..there she was again! I put on the TV last night and there she was driving around in a Range Rover inspecting holes in the ground! No tape mmeasure, no AGA mask.

PS what happened to the Master Diver Jason?
