Do you think shows like Deadliest Catch have highlighted what an incredibly challenging and dangerous field you work in, glorified and sensationalised it, or something in between? For disclosure I loved DC when I got to watch it, but always wondered what someone in the industry not on the show felt about it. Many thanks.

That's cool to know. I've always maintained that whatever editing they do for dramatic purposes (because they do, it's reality tv, it's how they keep ratings) doesn't really need to apply to the sea. That beast brings its own drama to the table.

Thanks for answering, hope this AMA brings you more substantial and interesting questions to ask :)
