    I enjoyed it. My wife, a non diver said it was very good. Thanks to Brian, Wes, and others for getting a positive cave diving message out there!

    Yeah, my Wife heard that and looked at me with a bad look in her eye and said, "Didn't you want one of those?"

    I enjoyed it as well, especially the science. The footage was very cool and it was good to see some of the sites I have read about (Sanctuary, etc.)

    My wife did cut her eyes at me several times when " the most dangerous sport in the world" stuff was said, and the silt up/cave in scene, but I explained the hyping up of that stuff. Like most have said, they are targeting the general public when they produce this stuff not for real cave divers and we can understand that.

    Thanks to Brian and all for giving us the heads up...I would never have know if it weren't mentioned here on the forum.

    Congrats to Brian, Wes, Jill and everyone else involved. I thought it was an excellent program with high production values and enough entertainment content to keep the general public enthralled! I thought it was awesome! Glad to see some higher quality cave footage make it out into the general population!

    Thanks for you efforts.

    Regards,

    The drama was over the top, I got a lot of looks from my wife. But the footage was great.

    That is because you didn't pay money to their monthly money raising telethons,and get the free Peach State Latte mug with Biscotti.

    Actually I had problems too,so I think it was feed problem too throughout the whole GPB network.

    Sorry guys, but ten minutes in and I had had enough dribble. Maybe I didn't give it enough time, but I found the most dangerous sport angle coupled with thrill seeking addicts a bit over the top.

    Yea, I didn't care much for the "Twenty cave divers a year die". We haven't had rates that high, since the '70s.

    That statisitic is probably very accurate. Now if you said 20 cave divers a year die in caves,then there is an inaccuracy.
