Ok some advanced warning this time, apparently set to air this Thursday:

http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/497100/2178097

I bet they'll focus on the death/danger/suicide aspect a fair bit. But there should be some great footage from the Egypt comp (40m vis, good cameras and multiple divers filming), I haven't even seen it yet. Pete Cronshaw was right into it and had a pretty good understanding of what it was about, so it won't be one of those frustrating docos where they don't have a clue about the sport they're describing.

They say they also have some good blackout footage to include, I wonder which of us will get the honours...?

I hope they don't have either of mine, but I strongly suspect they do :(

Kathryn's Taupo depth BO is a sure thing, then maybe some from the WCs?

Yeah, I expect they'll have K's BO on there. They also have footage of Ant's BO and Will's samba from WCs, and possibly those of other competitors although I don't think Debs filmed much aside from our dives.

AIDA NZ will have the footage of your BO and also surface footage of mine from the Blue Hole, the question is whether Fran handed it over or not.... :)

Flicked between the swimming with sharks thing on prime and 20/20 hoping to catch it. Will try again next week.
I dunno about some of those shark guys. Seems to me they are taking risks.

Sorry about that, I should have mentioned it probably wasn't on but wasn't 100% sure what their scheduling was.

The guy talking about his spiritual connection with Bull sharks was a bit much.

I was flickn between the two as well. That program on prime was like you say, a bit much. That new camera they use to put inside your body on 20/20 had amazing clarity. obviously waterproof and small enough to mount on your gun. If only it could run off batterys!

Could mount it on the tip of a spear! That would be a great slow-mo shot.

The TVNZ website says it is on this Thursday (at the moment anyway - it said so for a while last week as well).

Haven't seen the ad but it sounds like they are indeed going to play up the Freak/Deathwish/Danger side quite a bit. Ahh well. Deep diving is tough and a very unpleasant thing to put yourself through so I wasn't about to make up pleasant stories about it. I was at pains to point out the actual risk is small, however. Let's see if that bit makes it to air.....
