  1. “Oh, yeah. And I started to breathe. But every time I sort of like was at the point of tapping him to go, you know, I got to get out of here. I feel panicky. He just kept disappearing deeper and deeper and deeper into another corner, another corner. I thought, and he was moving quickly because he's used to being in this wreck. They're doing the salvage on this thing. So finally, we come into an opening and then he shines the light around and there's this huge ballroom.”

  2. “So I go in this little doorway, and it would have been like, let's imagine a small window, like two by three. We go through this little porthole. And then we start weaving our way through the ship. And as we're going deeper and deeper and deeper into the shipwreck, I'm completely disorientated. I have no idea where I am.”

  3. “We would go into the ballroom of this ship and big, big ballroom, and then the crew would come in from another door and we would meet in the middle so that we didn't stir up all the silt going into the same entrances. We'd swim towards each other. They'd get us coming towards them. And so we go down. And what I know now is if you go into a wreck, you tie a line on the outside of the wreck so that you have something to follow out if something goes wrong. These guys were so familiar with the wreck and so experienced and knew the place so well they didn't tie a line on. And I just sort of followed them in not knowing that that was sort of what you should do. And, you know, the other rule with diving is you never leave your dive buddy. So I'm following this guy. And I was too scared to tell him because I was trying to be a man that before that I was really claustrophobic.”

  4. “No, different guy. Okay. No, but people, yeah, I've seen the same thing. They take the regulator out and they start having conversations with fish. A good idea Getting narked. Yeah, so that's all the more reason to get properly certified. So I was with some very experienced divers and way more experienced than me and they were doing the salvage and we were going to be the first people to shoot on the ship, get to go inside the ship and explore it. And the cameraman that I was with was also very experienced. But because there's so much silt inside the boat and there was a current as well rolling through the boat, in those days we were shooting on film. It's not like today where you could go down with a great GoPro and some lights and you could film for a couple of hours. We had two and a half minute roll of film in a 100 foot daylight spool roll that was in a little housing inside the so literally that's the only amount of footage we had to shoot on film. That's how long I go back. So the plan was”

  5. “The faster you chew through air and you eat up air, and that affects how long you can stay down. And the longer you're down deep, the more nitrogen you get in your blood. And so there's a real science to diving and you have to be super careful. You're a diver?”

  6. “Exactly. So most recreational divers get certified to dive to about 60 feet. The best stuff that you see underwater is generally in the first 30 feet because once you get past 30 feet, the color changes, you lose all the reds and everything becomes very blue. I always say to people, look, you don't need to go deep unless you're going onto a wreck or something. There's some real reason to go deep. The only reason to go deep is, you know, if it is a wreck you can get great diving in 10, 15 feet of water with the coral close to the surface, the colors are brighter and so on. But this wreck was deep. And as you said, the deeper you are,”

  7. “22,000 tons is like it's as big as a cruise liner that you see going around at the ports around the world and big, really big.”

  8. “Yeah, so when you're 19, most 19 year olds, they don't think they're going to die. I certainly didn't think I was going to die. I was invincible. We used to do ridiculous things, think that we were somehow protected by the speed gods or whatever it was. We did things that we probably shouldn't have done. And now I think looking back on it, I'm just lucky to have got to this point in my life, I think. But, you know, like putting ski bindings and skis and striving them to a roof rack of a car and then going into a tuck and seeing how fast we could drive the car. And, you know, as fast as we possibly could. Anyway, I was doing a story about a 22,000 ton shipwreck that had sunk in in New Zealand and it was down about 120 feet underwater and it was on its”

  9. “Thousands. Yeah. I mean, I. Going to be 50 this year. I started A daily live show called Breakfast Time in the early 90s. Tom Bergeron was the host and then there were a number of us who were out on the road doing basically anything we wanted to do. They gave us a satellite truck, a camera operator, and a production assistant, and we could go anywhere in America to do five stories from anywhere in America. And we would go every day live and we'd have to do two stories from that place live. Everything from hand feeding sharks live to changing a light bulb on the Verizana, bridge live to milking spiders to being in a coal mine or whatever it was. And so that was over the period of four and a bit years. That would have been close to 800 shows.”

  10. “Think that would have thought that was funny. They were way too concerned with how they looked. It would have been very off putting.”

  11. “They didn't want to increase their pants, which is what I suspected. Because the pants had these beautiful creases in them. And like I said, they were like beautifully dressed. A lot of attention to detail. And so they finally sat down. And then in the middle of the interview, I'm looking across, I think it was at Fabrice, because it was Robin Fabrice. And I noticed that the dreadlock is detached from his head while he's twirling it. And I was like, I'm figuring that I'm looking to see whether it was noticeable on the monitor. And then I sort of turn around and I see behind me the manager is like gesturing to them to tell them that the dreadlock had become detached. Now, I mean, I should have just gone with it, but I don't think they really had a sense of humor.”

  12. “That's how the thing went 345 live because it was on at 345 and it was live. And so anybody who was anybody who came to New Zealand came on this show 345 live Monday to Friday. And so Millie Vanilli make their way to New Zealand. And this is when they were like, they'd won the Grammy for Best New Artists. There were those songs, you know, those great songs, blame it on the rain. I'm trying to think of what the other songs were. But anyway, they came in and they were beautifully dressed and it looked like models, male models. The dreads were all beautifully kept. And they wouldn't sit down on the chair. And the manager was talking to them and there was no sort of like lead up to the chat. They just sort of were off one side talking amongst themselves. And then we were about to go three. 45 live. And then they sat down at the last minute and we're on the show live.”

  13. “Yeah, wow, yeah. Millie vanilli. I started in television when I was really young, like 18, and I really wanted to be a cinematographer and tell stories with a camera, be in television. I was not popular with my family for making that choice because I wanted to go straight out of high school into... Working in television, and there were no degrees you could get in broadcasting or communications degrees. And so against my family's wishes, I went and took this job. It was hard to get where I was a television assistant. And then miraculously, that led from me being a camera assistant to then being in front of a camera. And I guess I was 20 and I was working on a daily live show. It was called 345.”
