    Deep Sea Detectives.....

    Is it just me, or is this show getting worse all the time?? I know it's not targeting only divers, but they spend so much time solving mysteries, they don't have time to get in the water!!

    It's not targeting divers at all. If it was, it would probably be on the Travel Channel, or perhaps OLN.

    At least on tonight's episode, John left his rebreather at home.

    I thought the USS San Diego one a week ago was okay -- it didn't seem as mindlessly repetitive.

    If it was geared to divers, they wouldn't have the co-host doing her first dry suit dive on the show!

    A flawlessly working rebreather is almost as dangerous as a completely unreliable unit since reliability encourages complacency.

    Who is that new cohost chick? I like the old established divers hosting the series better (ie: John and Richie). Last nights episode on the Marine Electric was pretty good. The episode on the San Diego was a little strange in that they penetrated the wreck 1st before making a visual survey of the hull. They could have determined that it was an external explosion that sank the vessel right then, but I guess the show has to be stretched to an hour, so a going about it backwards would stretch out the time.

    Richie didn't die, it was Michael Norwood who died (I think)

    Richie was just doing some guest host duties in the episodes he was in. If remember correctly, the current chick host is only temporary, and they are conducting a search for a more permanent, experienced host. Our own RavenC is on that short list.
