I'm sorry to say I agree with the comparison to Charlie's Angels as far as the OceanQuest "story" goes. Its relationship to the real-life adventures of a novice diver is essentially non-existent, and its sensationalistic approach seems likely to encourage novices to ignore their own judgement regarding potential dangers. On the other hand, the underwater footage is absolutely fantastic. If I had a VCR, I'd tape the shows, edit out the nonsense above water, and replace the commentary with music. I probably couldn't sell it to commercial TV, but I bet I'd have a winner in the underwater film festival arena...
