The Underwater Channel

The Underwater Channel

The Underwater TV Channel is free to watch broadband TV channel designed to appeal to global audience – divers, marine conservationists, free-divers, snorkelers, dolphin watchers – anyone in fact, who loves the oceans.

The Underwater TV Channel Videos

The Underwater TV Channel videos are professionally produced by international filmmakers featuring a wide range of underwater subjects - from diving personalities to natural history, from caves and shipwrecks to free diving and scientific expeditions, ocean conservation, climate change, marine archaeology, resort reports, inspirational dives and special events in the underwater world.

History

The Underwater TV Channel is the creation of Emmy award winning Producer/ Director Nicholas Claxton. The idea for a free broadband channel dedicated to the underwater world came about when Nicholas Claxton was producing a television documentary about Red Sea coral reefs in 2006. Nicholas tells us that “Working with the celebrated underwater cameraman Peter Scoones (Sea Trek, Life in the Freezer, Blue Planet) inspired me, and set my mind on fire”.

He explains that “after spending many years making television documentaries for some of the world’s major broadcasters, including several hard-hitting films in South Africa, Palestine and the USA the opportunity to look at a very different world - underwater - became irresistible”.

In May 2007 a trial launch of The Underwater Channel with a selection of underwater videos was greeted with terrific enthusiasm from the diving community. Now, The Underwater Channel wants to unite that global diving community with the programs, features and personalities that truly understand the magical appeal and crucial significance of the oceans. In the process it is also our aim to tempt ‘armchair divers’ – those who’ve yet to take the plunge – out of their seats and into the water!
