Beginning New Year's Day, the Outdoor Channel will be broadcasting a new series called Speargun Hunter. Created by ex-Navy diver and award-winning HDTV/ Digital Film Producer Robin Berg, Speargun Hunter documents the expeditions of world-record-setting, freediving spearfishermen Sherri Daye and Chad Palan. Throughout the 13 episodes, Berg -- along with Dr. Terry Maas (who serves as principal videographer) -- travel throughout Florida, North Carolina, California, and Mexico in search of their quarry: both the fish AND the freediving spearfishermen.

If you want to learn a little more about Speargun Hunter, check out UWDV. Clff Etzel recently interviewed Berg and Maas about the equipment they used and the challenges they faced bringing their vision to the small screen.

1. I missed the monday episodes and the Outdoor Channel only upcoming episodes for week one ending with tuesday at 2am. Well right now it's 2100 hrs on the EC so I obviously missed that episode this morning, and with no other upcoming episodes (repeats) for week one being put on the website (ODC, so I can't program my DVR to record the program.
Appreciate your letting me know when it's coming on the week so I can record the first episode.

4. This is one GREAT show. I've never seen anything like it. The divers are so talented and the camera work is amazing. It makes me want to try it, but at the same time it scares me. I have so much respect for the people who do this for a living!
