In 290 BC, the Egyptian Pharaohs constructed one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the tallest lighthouse ever built: the Lighthouse of Alexandria. In the 14th century, an earthquake toppled her and the tower’s remains fell into Alexandria harbor where they were forgotten for centuries. Now, researchers believe they have found the stones from the lighthouse. But others say these can’t be her stones because they believe the lighthouse stood in a very different location. Join our deep-water detectives, John Chatterton and Richie Kohler, as they dive in Alexandria for the archaeological ruins that hold the key to solving this ancient mystery.

The Mexican island of Cozumel is one of the world's premier vacation destinations, a Caribbean paradise of sun and sand and a staple of spring break. It also boasts some of the most extraordinary and important archeological sites of the New World, relics of the Mayans, who dominated the Yucatan in the 16th century.
Cozumel is also home of the Cueva Quebrada, a six-mile network of underwater caves and chambers beneath the island. In 1991, cave explorers Jeff Bozanic and Steve Ormeroid came upon a Mayan burial mound while diving in a chamber nearly a mile away from any entrance. As John Chatterton prepares for his dive on the puzzling find, DEEP SEA DETECTIVES probes the mysteries of how the Mayans were able to place these artifacts in such an unlikely location.

John Chatterton dives the remains of a ship recently found off Florida whose past is as illustrious as her demise was mysterious. The Eleanor Bolling was the workhorse that carried Admiral Richard Byrd on his 1928 Antarctic expedition. But after Byrd's return to a New York City tickertape parade, his historic ship was soon forgotten and eventually sold in 1937. Renamed the Vamar, she began service as a cargo carrier in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. In March 1942, as the Battle of the Atlantic raged and German U-boats savaged Allied shipping, the Vamar left Florida headed for Cuba. The weather was fair, the seas calm, when suddenly, she sank without warning. Was she torpedoed? Did she hit a mine? Or was her captain in reality a Nazi spy who sank her as an act of sabotage.
