Guys

I just have to say what a fantastic days TV watching the Abyss, such top quality marine life, and so good to see some 'Expert' divers doing their thang.

If that don't bump up the numbers of people wanting to try diving nothing will.

So add to that Liverpools Mighty Victory and ENGLANDS continued march to world domination and you could have as good a day as you can get without diving.

Dive Safe

It was all a bit "amazing", "fantastic", "unbelievable" for my liking - Kate Humble needs to chill a bit!

Great TV though - especially liked the guy diving on helium and explaining gas switching etc.

I forgot about it  

and only saw the last one and a half bits.

I watched the highlights so I could watch the helium dive to 80 mtrs again but they did not show any of it  

.

Earlier I was on bended knee before the other half pleading my case about her getting a street job so I could afford a rebreather - just like the man on TV because "if they use them on TV they must be good and I really really want one". Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time, apparently "I already spend too much money and time diving and when am I going to do the redecorating ....." FFS.

Did you notice that when the guy was doing the full helmet diving (walking) that his helmet light had flooded - glad it happens to the professionals as well.

Def agree with the comments about Kate needing to chill. If she is always that loud when she is excited I would imagine her other half needs "intimate earplugs".

<font color='#000080'>Who thinks he was narked when he switched back off helium???
As in the VERY loud yell  of "I havnt a clue whats going on here" purportedly about the sharks but I'm convinced to warn the rest of the team about his state of mind, followed by several minutes of euphoric shreiking and burbling

ET, matched by more euphoric shreiking and burbling from Kate Humble!

Bren,

I recorded abt 1 hr 40 mins worth - when I have watched it again I'll post it up to you if you are that interested in watching the program. It won't take that long before I watch it again as I really only want to watch the rebreather dive to 80 mtrs again.

Most of the other stuff that was seen from the ROV/deep submersible was similar to stuff I already have recorded. The interest was that it was supposed to be live.

Anyway, PM me your address if you want to watch the vid (postal strikes not withstanding).

Well Ok he was probably a bit Narked, but i think i would have been yelling (if i had the facility), at the sight of all those Hammerheads swimming above me. What a sight

What about that terrible vis they had to put up with on the diving? Just like Dover

Hey Bryan,

As mi old mum used to say (in a heavily brogued Irish lilt): "Ah Jaze, you're a good man yourself!" PM on its way.

Cheers,

Yes I got the impression the guy on the rebreather was pretty narked before the switchover. Maybe he's always that elated!!
Agree the vis was a sickener never mind just like Dover just like some dives in the Clyde NOT

<font color='#810541'>Was that a Prism re-breather? I hadn't seen one before. They had a YBOD on the boat but didn't see anyone using it.

Not sure about the RB Type, however that dive was recorded and i think i read a report on it in a dive mag, not sure which one, but probably Dive or Diver. I'll have a dig through them.

Yep, I think it must have been on a review tape, as the Times TV bit mentioned that he saw the hammerheads.
