Don't get me wrong, i knew from the start that this series will be about diving not traveling as Departures was. The amazing visuals captured and created by the highly talented cameraman Andre Dupuis, the usual excellent narration by Scott Wilson were all there with the same quality as in Departures, but right from the start there was something wrong laying around, OK, Justin was not on this new series, i could accept that, but he was replaced by some bragging guy that i never liked from the New Zealand Departures episode, he can be a very skilled and experienced diver but for a travel companion for Scott, it simply didn't worked and the series just turned into a banal documentary about diving saved only by some good parts here and there when they were not actually diving at all, when Scott was showing us something about the place.

I watched and re-watched Departures, each episode was a true gem, with Descending it was painful sometimes, i even skipped one or two episodes, many parts were just boring... and seeing some good talent being wasted was hard, i think they could have done a season 4 of departures with the money they spent producing this new series. A bad option which i hopefully they correct soon, i heard something about departures season 4, so big fans of Departures as me, may get a good surprise soon :)
