Well the funny thing about that Heidi is that I was just on the phone with John Chatterton and told him to watch me on tv tonight... My life continues to be sureal.
Thank you to everyone for your kind words. This segment was filmed a year ago so for this entire year I've lived in fear that I said something stupid and it was going to follow me around for years of Shark Week re-runs. I'm SO relieved it worked out so well!!
When the producer of the show first called to book our boat I was a bit turned off because I did not want our sharks to be portrayed wrongly. We are all extremely impressed that the show was not a blood and gore show....they even mentioned that sand tigers are not man eaters. SWEET!
If you didn't catch the show, it runs tonight and then again tomorrow. It will be released on dvd after that but I'm not sure when.
As for me I'm booking more charters that are beginning to result from the show and still recovering from the amazing viewing party we had last night.

flix http://http://www.locatetv.com/movie/deep/850785
This visually stunning action-adventure film, based on the best-selling novel by JAWS author Peter Benchley, stars Nick Nolte and Jaqueline Bissett as a couple on a romantic holiday in Bermuda. New Yorkers, David Sanders (Nolte) and Gail Berke (Bissett) are enjoying a much-needed vacation; while diving one day they discover the sunken wreck of a WWII freighter and unearth a gold coin as well as a mysterious glass ampule. Excited, they believe their discovery could be a long lost treasure, but they soon learn that their most valuable discovery is actually an ampule of morphine, one of thousands left behind on the medical supply ship. This discovery leads them into the hands of Henry Cloche (Louis Gossett Jr.), an extremely dangerous and powerful Haitian drug dealer who will stop at nothing to unearth the dangerous treasure. With the help of Romer Treece (Robert Shaw), an old treasure hunter, David and Gail soon realize that they have made a much more important discovery than the morphine and set out to keep their actual treasure a secret. Director Peter Yates's suspenseful film features death-defying dives and exquisite underwater photography. Posters of Bissett underwater in a T-shirt adorned many a dorm wall in the late 1970s.

Episode Detail: Shelley's Last Breath - 48 Hours Mystery
The 1999 drowning death of Shelley Tyre in the British Virgin Islands while she was scuba diving with her husband, David Swain, is investigated as a homicide.
Kind of a grim show, but might be interesting.

60 Minutes is having a segment on sharks. It's on within the next hour so it's probably a bit late to let everyone know, but they might have it online somewhere. Not sure what the angle is, but it looks like a positive story. The summary says, "Anderson Cooper dives unprotected with great white sharks and the South African who has spent more time up close with the ocean's most feared predator than anyone else."
Here's an excerpt: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6332708n&tag=contentMain;cbsCarousel

It was a sharky Sunday night! Both the 60 Minutes segment & Expedition Great White were focused on conservation and changing the perception of Great Whites. Hopefully that's a shift in perspective that's going to continue. :happyeyepatch:
There were two episodes of EGW last night. I watched one, but had to save the other for later. I'll look forward to seeing that & future episodes as well.
