Wonders of the Deep contains two video cassettes, each about an hour in length. (Why don't they put the two hours on a single video cassette? I don't know. Also, both cassettes are recorded in EP mode.) The content and structure of these videos is very much like what you would find on Discovery or the Nature Channel. The first cassette chronicles a trip to Sipidan, a Malaysian island off the coast of Borneo, and to Layang Layang, a man-made atoll in the South China Sea. Both sites offer a specular diversity of marine life. The second cassette features Florida cave diving and diving off of Key Largo. The cave diving is fascinating in that it is fresh-water diving in caverns underneath the State of Florida.

This set is actually 4 Sport Diver tv shows on 2 video cassettes. If you have ever seen the show, it is a travel log type format with diving as the focus. This is not an instructional set but sort of an introduction to places a diver might want to investigate further. We really enjoyed the tapes and think they are a steal for the price!! They are fast paced shows and tend to repeat information every now and then but with that kind of scenery to look at, who cares!!!
