Digital TV for divers

The Great Britain based will feature a wide range of videos produced by international underwater filmmakers covering a broad range of subjects from natural history, wreck diving and cave diving, marine conservation, expeditions, creature encounters, and scuba adventure.

The Channel is free to watch and designed to appeal to a global audience of divers and 'armchair' divers. The UWC is using the Babelgum plattform for its videos, which combines the full-screen video quality of traditional television with the interactive capabilities of the internet, offering professionally produced programming on demand to a global audience.

The founder of the Channel is Emmy award-winning filmmaker Nicholas Claxton who says “I‟m thrilled that the concept of the Underwater Channel has been met with such enthusiasm from so many key figures in the dive community not just in the UK but wider Europe, USA and Asia Pacific too. The global diving community is young and internet-savvy. This is the birth of a pioneering venture which will cater for their passion online and hopefully persuade armchair divers to take the plunge!”
