    As a diver, the sight of the 95m wreck with the light suspended above it and the ROV hovering next to it is one of the best diving videos I have ever seen. Absolutely fantastic!

    Archaeology's real frontier is underwater, all the way out to the edge of the continental shelves worldwide.  There's as much out there to be found as all of the discoveries on land thus far made, and probably more.  This expedition was a colossal success.  Well done, indeed!

    As a Canadian diver living on Lake Ontario I have been incredibly lucky to be able to visit the wrecks I have done dives on. The fresh water keeps our wrecks in incredible shape as well but I noticed that we have plant life etc covering a lot of our wrecks etc that you dont get in the Black Sea. Fantastic program and incredible footage. Well worth the watch and saved and you have a brand new subscriber.

    This is probably the best documentary I’ve viewed since Jacque Cousteau when we were kids. Please keep up the great human historic reality work.

    Brilliant documentary. Good old exciting discoveries and science, with none of the modern "reality tv" hype and overdone drama. The dedication of the archaeologists, technicians and sailors is incredible.

    I took a class with Batchvarov. Amazing undersea archaeologist. Seeing some of the work he's done and the history of archeology in the Black Sea leaves you mesmerized

    I loved the view of the guy lighting up a smoke in front of the computer screen.

    It’s unbelievable that these ships are still intact after thousands of years at the bottom of the sea! It’s like a time machine frozen underwater. I used to think that the deep sea was full of scary mysteries, but who would have thought it contained such a treasure trove of history? Seeing the details on the ships that are still so clear gives me goosebumps. It’s amazing!

    Yes, that is real "high culture", this expedition. A gift to humanity.
