The actual dive scenes are hard to see because they're diving in what amounts to "chocolate milk" a lot of the time; however, when they are preparing for the dive or coming up with a license plate, that's the more interesting film. These guys are experts at 'recovery' as well & if the agency in charge of the case wants them to do the recovery (vehicle hook up, etc.) they will. If the local Fire/LE dive teams are doing the recovery, they'll stay on scene to offer advice/assistance if needed. Doug Bishop ran a towing company for years, so he's an expert at hooking up vehicles. If remains are inside, vehicle recovery process is crucial, not to spill any contents. The families are AWP's primary concern - finding loved ones for them and giving them some answers, so they can move forward.
I have no connection to AWP other than being a recent fan of their mission. This is not meant as an 'ad' for AWP, but if you want to support them, it's a worthy cause. Their services are FREE to family/law enforcement.

I’ve been watching them for a bit now, I really think they do a great job searching and producing a very watchable show.
Impressive, actually.
They do get a bit too forced with emotion on occasion but overall an A+ show.
