Had beers with Scott and Justin a few months ago. We are actively looking for another season of Departures. Looking for the right Network to pick it up. It all depends on if a Network sees value in it. As far as the three of us are concerned we are good to go if we get a green-light!

Netflix. We want to be on Netflix :)

Ive had two scary moments. Both happened while underwater. The first was while shooting Descending, you can actually watch the whole thing happen in the South Africa episode. I was held down by a recirculating current on a wreck.

The worst happened while shooting my new series Over the Horizon. We did a lot of really deep dives (180') on the wrecks which were sunk by nuclear testing in Bikini Atoll. Lots of these dives were decompression dives. Even though myself and my dive buddy Edward Maddison followed very conservative decompression plans, I got the bends. We were really far away from a decompression chamber so our Paramedic Curtis Akitt took me underwater on pure O2 and we followed an in-water recompression plan. Luckily I'm 100% today.

My finest moment on television.

Wow. I'm moved. When making Departures, I remember being 4 episodes into filming and thinking "who the hell is going to watch this crap?".. I had ZERO idea that people would be inspired by a few Canadians traveling the world. Im acutely aware now when producing new series the impact it can have. My biggest thrill is hearing that one of our shows has inspired someone to go travel, learned to scuba dive, or just been more curious about the world. Thank you so much for watching and I'm moved that the show has meant so much to you. I won't stop creating.
