Oceanos: Deep Quest - Incredible

Well I watched the DVD the day I received it, but have not had anytime to update the blog. It was absolutely incredible and anyone who ever sailed on the Oceanos should buy this DVD. The DVD is about the first successful dive to the Oceanos which lies at the bottom of the Ocean almost 100 meters down, not far from "The hole in the wall", right in the path of the most treacherous and powerful current in the world the Agulhas current.

I think Barry Coleman must be the most incredible diver I have ever seen, all the guys who did the dive including the cameraman were very brave to do the dive, but the photography and images are something that you will remember all your life.

I am not a diver and don't see myself ever doing any dives, so this DVD I will treasure for the rest of my life and will watch it often.

For details on where to obtain the DVD please look at the post further down on this blog.

At the begining of this year 2007 a reproduction of "Survive this - The sinking of the Oceanos" was broadcast on television, if anyone can provide me with a copy of this on DVD please email me. I have one that was broadcast back in the 90's also called Survive this (I think), but this is a new one.
