An utterly ridiculous, over-the-top show which is about as "real" as American Pickers.
What's more, the filming practices are incredibly questionable in terms of animal welfare. Cameras are accelerated and forced into the noses of small reef sharks to make it appear like the shark is attacking. Utterly disgusting, given the sensitivity of a shark's nose.
Also, we're somehow supposed to believe that seasoned spearfishermen are terrified of reef sharks, when any surfer will paddle around all day with them all day underneath them. We're also asked to believe that these "badasses" routinely ignore the orders of their captains. I'm not talking once in a blue moon - I'm talking 2/3 times per episode. Let me explain what would happen if you went against the orders of a captain... You would NEVER dive on that boat (or likely any other boat) again. There wouldn't be a brief argument, then a makeup "bro hug". You'd be gone. End of story. The skipper's word is absolutely final.
Also, the maintenance guy in the cutoff denim shorts... Don't get me started on him!!
Utterly ridiculous. Unwatchable.
