The online video portal Babelgum has announced that it will bring The Underwater Channel with scuba diving and ocean conservation video content to a global audience on the PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) website.
The UnderwaterChannel.tv is a free web TV channel “dedicated to bringing the mysteries of the deep to the surface and communicating everything underwater.” It also aims to “tempt ‘armchair’ divers out of their seats and into the water.”
According to a Babelgum statement the channel, launched this month, will initially feature six Babelgum exclusive episodes of the thought provoking documentary The End of the Line.
