Anybody heard about THIS? It's showing this Wednesday @ 8 pm, so 'll probably miss it- I don't have TIVO, but I'm really curious about it.

Yeah- I wish I still had a VCR, or that I had gotten TIVO for this one- Oh, well- I have to dive my new drysuit tonight- if I don't, my head will probably explode. If anybody notices a rebroadcast announcement, please let me know. Why isn't this on Discovery channel, anyway? Then, I'd be guaranteed to see it at least 5 or 6 times during Shark week.

Wow- this thing was shredded on every site I saw it on- everybody hated it. Discovery probably took a pass and let the network have it. Too bad, seemed like a cool idea. I'm glad I went diving yesterday instead!

Really bad.

Wasn't really a sub, either. More of a propulsion unit.

I didn't understand the whole point and the "drama" was really pumped up. The visibilty was awesome and I wished for much more shark footage.

Gotta say that was pretty bad. :vom: If he was stranded on the bottom with no com, then how were they filming it. And when they "rescue" him on the beach he just leaves his 5,000 dollar drager there?? [-X
