Diamond Divers (2012)

EndedReality show

Diamonds are a man's best friend in this reality series, which follows an intrepid marine mining crew of rugged divers and sailors from Washington state who head to South Africa in search of buried diamonds under the sea. Led by Captain John Aydelotte, a motorcycle-riding former chief engineer at Boeing, the men battle the dangerous Skeleton Coast waters, filled with sharks and surrounded by unpredictable weather, and risk their lives in search of an untouched jackpot of diamonds hidden deep in the ocean floor. The other crew members include John's son, Jason, who inherited his dad's hot-headed temper; ex-Marine J.R., the master mechanic; expert divers Marty and Sam; and former Navy medic Doc, who at 59 is the oldest -- and also wildest -- of the group.

McDonald is a tough, driven, battering ram of a cop who cracks cases through sheer force of will; Dodds – the tortoise to her hare – is quiet, unassuming and enigmatic. But thrust back into frontline action for the first time in a decade, he discovers a hidden talent for deciphering puzzles. Two contemporary Britons, seemingly with nothing in common, thrown together, boss McDonald and loyal sidekick Dodds forge a rumbustious, entertaining and ultimately – give or take a few setbacks – effective partnership.
