The Underwater TV Channel is the creation of
Emmy award winning Producer/ DirectorNicholas Claxton . The idea for a freebroadband channel dedicated to the underwater world came about whenNicholas Claxton was producing a television documentary aboutRed Sea coral reefs in2006 . Nicholas tells us that “Working with the celebrated underwater cameramanPeter 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 ofThe 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!References
