For DDTV - CN8 is Great!

2008 is off to a great start here at Divers Down™ Television. We’ve secured a weekly placement with CN8, the Comcast Cable Network broadcasting from Maine to Virginia. Look for us each Sunday evening at 8pm as part of CN8 Outdoors, a collection of great programming neighbors for DDTV. The block begins at 7 pm with ‘Port ‘O Call’ and their fun look at family boating, then it’s ‘On The Hook’ for saltwater fishing at 7:30, followed by DDTV at 8, and finishing up with ‘Weekend Explorer’ - great outdoor adventures at 8:30.

Comcast  makes CN8 Outdoors available as Video-On-Demand 24/7, and those outside the region can soon catch the program streamed on the web on PC’s.

Winter is hanging on for dear life, making us all wish for an early arrival of Spring. With this comes trade show season, and opportunity for most divers to partake in some local scuba diving related gatherings designed to kick-off the season to get those thoughts of underwater adventure flowing. There’s always interesting things to see so be sure to catch one in your area.

On the production front we’ve got tons of new material in-the-can as they say, from locations that are sure to whet your whistle. Currently in the works is an interesting program featuring a visit to DAN Headquarters in Durham, North Carolina. DAN, the Divers Alert Network showed us what happens behind the scenes. You’ll be amazed at what goes on there to increase the safety of scuba diving for all of us.

Now’s the time, if you haven’t already one so, to inspect your dive gear, and get things in for a tune-up at your local dive store. It won’t be long before the lakes are free of ice, the surf on the coast washes in a bit warmer, and divers will be actively pursuing their next bit of underwater adventure.

Destinations are eager to welcome you as well folks. From Australia to Micronesia, Caribbean to California there are great things you can see and enjoy as a diver. Brush up with a refresher course, or make this the year that you finally take that first certification and make scuba diving part of your life!

Cheers.
