Dr. Sean Kingsley – dubbed the David Attenborough of shipwrecks by Riviera Buzz – has explored 350 wrecks, from Phoenician and Byzantine ships in 2 metres off Israel to the world’s deepest wrecks found using robots in 4,700 metres off Ireland. He has a doctorate from Oxford University and has been the lead archaeologist on the first-rate warship the Victory (1744) off England, the greatest warship of the early Georgian age of sail, sunk in the English Channel in 1744. As Guest Curator for Voices from the Deep at London’s Postal Museum, he showcased 700 letters recovered from the British India steamship the Gairsoppa (1941).
Canadian filmmaker Chris Atkins has travelled the world, often to places where most people would not want to go. From filming underwater beneath 14 inches of ice to following a herd of reindeer across the frozen tundra of Siberia, to Afghanistan following Canadian troops, archaeological digs in Israel and to the front lines of ISIS in Iraq, Chris has experienced things few others ever will.
Recently Chris has made a return to his first love of exploring the underwater world, as the on-camera diver and underwater photographer for the team searching for a lost Nazi U-boat in Laurence Fishburne’s History’s Greatest Mysteries on the History Channel.
