Not sure however it is the one where they first go for the Empress of
Ireland. But get pissed off because the vis and conditions are to poor for
filming. So they jump over to the Arabia off Tobermory and make it sound
like its a 10 minute dive boat ride away.  I'd love to see the engines on
that dive boat!!!!

I think that was about the second or so episode that I saw, it was so full
of errors and sensationalism, I never watched any more.  I thought that if
I caught that many errors on an area I know well, I couldn't trust his 
opinion on areas I'm not familiar with so simply stoped watching.  Around
here (almost his home town) he's simply considered a joke by serious
divers, rather then a profesional underwater photographer. However the OUC
types still hold him in high regard, which certainly demonstrates their
mentality.
