Just watched this:

Absolutely astonishing documentary.

Not a TV person particularly, but thought it would appeal to those in this parish.  

thanks, just watched it and it is indeed gripping, I knew nothing of 'sat' diving before this. These boys truly earn their wage packet.

Thanks for the heads up. One to watch!

Having read the description I think I'll give it a miss. That looks like the sort of thing that will give me a panic attack in the middle of the night.

Eurghhhhhh...

Like Touching the Void, a film where you know the outcome,  but still manages to keep you hooked, great stuff.

Interestingly, we didn’t know the outcome.

We did assume he was going to be ok based on the way it was delivered, but we weren’t quite sure. 

It’s gripping.  My sister watched it, just before her son went to do his first set of professional diving qualifications - maybe not the best idea.

I was pretty sure we knew, but obviously my memory playing tricks.

shows what I know.

Wow that was good.

really enjoyed it last night, absorbing (pun intended)

Superb. Thanks 👍

We went to the directors screening (with q&a after) last year in Aberdeen. 
 

As you can imagine-half the audience were from the ‘local’ commercial diving industry-the sequence of events defy all logic 
 

An incredible story eh! 

That must have been a great way to watch it. Suspect it must have been super gripping for those watching it who were in the industry. 

Bloody hell.  How intense?

Well....it was interesting certainly. I’ve got a pretty solid working knowledge of sat diving and DSV (dive support vessel) operations though I’m no longer in that industry. 
 

There was a hesitance and palpable reluctance to apply any blame (marginal weather conditions to rely on the dynamic positioning system alone etc) which is the call of the dive supervisor- the lack of experience with manually controlling/overriding the ships bridge and so on - there was more in what wasn’t asked than what was if you get me 
 

edit. Spelling 

Probably the best bit of telly i've seen for years.  Throughly enjoyed that.  Thanks.

So Honnold sat dives as well?

Excellent isn't it.  Its also on Netflix (or was...)
