The narrator is some guy in a lighted (?) voice comm FFM and split fins churning up the bottom. When he's not imitating a rototiller, he's kneeling or standing on whatever's underneath him.
His buddy's cam band appears to be unfastened and about 2 feet of it is waving in the current. He's too busy groping the marine life to notice his cylinder is about to fall out of his bc. Cut to shots of the boys scootering, yeehaw, it's the scuba rodeo...watch the coral, oops...oh well, it'll grow back...
Then for the Big Finale, a scene of a group of people (evidently OW dropouts who were too inept to use dive gear) wearing surface air-supplied acrylic helmets shuffling across the sea floor in their swim suits and booties. The silt cloud they create comes up to their knees...obviously the Next Big Thing in underwater recreation.
Wonder if this was supposed to air on the Comedy Channel instead...?
Yes, the funniest part was definately the group of non-divers wearing the big surface-air supplied helmets, trampling across the sea floor like a herd of buffalo. I laughed so hard I cried.
They have some movies you can download, but they're not funny like the tactical to practical tv show. It actually looks like a good idea. It can get non-divers interested in diving.
the more i watch TV programmes about/including diving the more picky i seem to be about their content. i don't know if i'm getting less tolerant or the programmes are becomming worse or a combination of the two.
either way it must be about time that a new diving programme is put together. either a Sea Trek for the new Millenium or, given the increasing number of reality TV programmes out now, what about one following a dive school?
