ABOUT THE SHOW:

Eat. Sleep. Dive. Repeat. What else are you supposed to do on a floating hotel built for scuba? Try to avoid death by equipment failure or invisible currents? Experience a spiritual awakening 100 feet beneath the surface? Will this be a romance? A horror story? Why not both? Stop worrying about sharks* and book your space already.

*There will be a guide to shark encounters.
