(( Shipwreck Central ))

Commenting a couple of days back on what’s available over the web as real, novel, TV 2.0 types of content I omitted mention of Shipwreck Central. Victoria, who works there, was right to bring it up.

So this is a web TV channel for people who want to see the underwater world and especially shipwrecks.

More though, because Shipwreck Central is an online community of wreck lovers.

This is what they say about themselves:

“Eco-Nova dive teams have been traveling the planet searching for and filming shipwreck sites for over a decade. Our goal in all our documentaries has always been to bring you to underwater sites that you might otherwise not see and to tell good factual stories to compliment our amazing underwater visuals. Our Sea Hunters documentaries are our best to date.Working with world renowned author, Clive Cussler, marine archaeologist and author, James Delgado, and our dive team, headed up by Mike and Warren Fletcher, we have taken you on searches for some of the worlds most famous shipwrecks. Over this time we have conversed and traded wreck information with many of you.”

And how about this: But no matter what you do, remember: This is your site, your place to make contact with shipwreck enthusiasts from every country of the world.

They air on Brightcove.

Shipwreck is not the only specialised underwater IPTVchannel. The ESPN show diving passport is now on the web and TV Scuba is a dedicated sports diving channel.

Hope that covers the ground (or at least the wet bits!)
