Oh, come one... why don't we metin Open Water?????
(Not a troll)
 
Also, "Deep Sea Detectives" I think its on the History Channel
 
The Big Blue....one of my favorite movies of all time...
 
Forbidden Depths on the Science Channel. I haven't seen part 1 yet, but part 2 was pretty good. They did some tank diving off Cuba, mostly deep submersible though.

Some interesting stuff on Amazon Abyss. Mostly rebreather diving, but they do some pretty good dark water diving. Film some new species while they're at it.

There's a guy on Spearboard that has great videos, but I don't know if he wants his link posted anywhere else. If you're interested go over to Spearboard and search for videos. You'll come up with his site with very little effort.

Edit: The spearboard vids, well, if you have an aversion to spearfishing, only click on the ones on the wrecks. He doesn't spear anything on the wrecks. If you don't have a spear fishing aversion, great stuff :D
 
Have you seen Jessica Alba in a bikini? That's enough to make the stupid movie worth watching.:D

The Big Blue is easily the best and most thoughtful of all time.

Into the Blue, crap. But Alba's rear end is a plot line of it's own.

Here's one that's killing me: There is an IMAX called Ocean Men: Extreme Dive. It's a documentary about Ferreras and Pelizzari trying to get to 531 feet (one breath) in "No Limits" freediving. It's only been showing in Canada. I've been trying to get a copy of this movie forever. Even tried to find someplace showing it in the Midwest.

Anyone know where to find a copy or showing??? Please help.

P.S.- I heard that James Cameron is doing a moving about Ferreras.

Thanks,
JB
