A bar brawl threatens not only Shawn's health but the Christine Rose's future. The Wild Ranger's luck is getting worse as they're down a man and have sprung a leak. The Sluicey's Ian calls in a friend who offers both experience and criticism.

Once again Google play is on it's ass when compared to Amazon. The newest episode (#3) is already available on Amazon and is yet available in Google Play. This crap is getting old. I am done with Google Play. This isn't a new issue and you don't seem to care to correct it. When someone pays in advance for your service, they expect the service to be provided in a timely manner. You suck.

I love watching men searching for Meaning in Metal Money. Emotionally disabled men fighting the fearsome fog of their own inadequacy... The funniest clown is the big guy who complains about the cost of owning 5 or 6 small dredges, sails only one and gets no gold. It is quite the soap opera of greed, dysfunction & gold!

As a retired commercial and technical diver, PADI Open Water SCUBA Instructor, Handicapped Scuba Association Instructor, Licensed Diver Paramedic and Hyperbaric Chamber Operator who has worked all over the world in some of worst conditions including Antarctica, I find the intire show laughable. Clearly the Discovery Channel has forced these clowns to up their gear with things like comm systems but the lack of professionalism is deadly. It's a wonder more people aren't getting killed.
