PROPOSAL:

[JE]

The time is now..........The format is here.......& the Networks are crying fot it-! A nationally broadcast weekly television program called:
'The Cave Diver's Forum'-!
Based on our forum here, all we would need are a core of members{MODS}, a remote video crew, & a place to base from. ie: CEE or a small broadcast studio. With the energy of our members here, this could viably be a very real thing-! Think of how great it would be to tune in & in real time see the very activity we all love-! There are three networks that come to mind:
The CW....Fox...& ABC

All we would need is a little encouragement & the right actions.
Input please- 8)

Thank you Jordan-! That is all I needed-! I'll get to work on this immediately....>writing the production outlines, & contacting the network heads. This has the makings of a great thing. I know you guys will be there to back me up. It'll take some hard work & a little time, but with the encouragement from the CDF members, I think we have a winner here. I'll get back to you all with any progress on this idea.
Any additional suggestions or input will be appreciated.
Safe diving everyone !

Based on Jack's artificially enhanced brain storm, I am now proposing mandatory drug testing for all CDF personel.
I was hoping it wouldn't come to this but as you can see this is an obvious cry for help. Interdiction baby!!
Nah. Not a bad idea. I have no idea how to pull it of but I'm sure you could get at least most of us here to tune in.
I say we contact Guiness to see if they will sponser it.

Lots of girls in bikinis that always works

The Guiness Diving Team... Brilliant!

If you get the girls, I'll drink the Guinness. Mmmmmm.... Guinness.
Oh yeah, and the TV show part sounds good too, Go Jack!

This is sounding better and better - now I know what I'm going to do after work - watch a Cavex2 DVD and drink Guinness! And fool with the little plastic thing that comes in the bottle.

They call that the "Widget" and it's a Nitrogen capsule. This would explain the narcosis I feel when I drink Guinness and it would also explain me getting occasionally "bent" while on dry land

Tj & I talked over lunch on Monday, & this forum being his 'baby' it is ultimately his decision to go ahead with this broadcast proposal. Here is how something like this takes place: I contact a publicist who puts me in touch with the right programing managers & producers who will hopefully invite myself & maybe TJ to their executive offices to discuss the potential of airing a CDF format. Then there will be contracts to be discussed, sponsors, & the budgeting of said programing. This all takes time, but with a little effort & the right moves, we will see this advertised in the media for a regularly scheduled show sometime within the next 8 to 10 months. A 'spot' airing can also be promoted to let people see what we do, & the impact that our diving excursions have on our environment. So please bear with me as we've only broken the surface-!
