I checked out the trailer.  Looks like a very interesting show.  Some pretty shady types are involved.  I think that some of them use rebreathers.

I have underwater video that is included in the Nat Geo Doty special, that I am sure everyone will enjoy.  At $100 per second of footage, the copy of the Lone Wolf check looks nice hanging on the wall of my office ;-)  For those who saw the presentation at the Ghost Ships show, the Doty video shown was what I shot, but what I’m excited to see is the outtakes and extras about threatening a Nat Geo photographer and vandalizing vehicles.  Hooo-Hooo, I can’t wait!

I am very pleased to again be at the top of the list of the worst.  Great filler for my resume.  As you probably know, I work very hard to be a rotten person, to uphold a high degree of dishonesty in everything I do, to be plotting and devious in all my pursuits and to continuously screw over my friends and set them up for failure.  It's nice to see that I get proper credit. ;D

I'm looking forward to the video footage. I already have my DVR set up to record on Tuesday  .

I watched the show late Tuesday after getting home from work @ 11:00 p.m. The connection to and consequent discovery of the Olive Jeanette were a nice addition to the featured L R Doty. I was a little disappointed in the lack of actual diving footage. Anybody remember hearing the depth of the Olive Jeanette? I would like to have a look at that wreck sometime soon.

Hi Matt;

The Olive Jeanette is at about 295 feet at the lake bottom.

Thanks John. Are numbers available yet?
