TV Show Expedition Unknown - Captain Kidd's Treasure Episode

It  was a great experience for Treasure Expeditions to work with Josh  Gates on his exciting TV show Expedition Unknown about Captain Kidd's  Treasure. Below are some "behind the scenes" photos and info. And "Yes"  there is treasure on Mona Island.

First  we would like address couple of questions which have been asked of us.  Yes, the sites were real, yes we did stay on Mona Island in tents and  sleeping bags (the tents were about 10 feet from the ocean), the anchor was  real and Yes treasure has been found on Mona Island and we do believe  there is still a large amount of treasure to be found. The only problem  is that Mona Island is completely under the control of Puerto Rico's  Department of Natural and Environmental Resources and only biologist and  park rangers are allowed on the island, so unfortunately there will  never be a large scale search and recovery project regarding either  buried or sunken treasure on Mona Island. We had to go through a lot of  work just to be able to film on the island. 

We were also thoroughly impressed with the producers Shawn Michaels and  Nicole Gormley, the writer Thomas Quinn and all the cameramen and sound  tech. Everyone worked as a team and was extremely friendly and  professional. 

They  flew Bradley down to the Caribbean to be on location for a little over a  week on the islands of Puerto Rico, The Dominican Republic and Mona  Island. It was a lot of work but it was also a lot of fun. Josh and his  team work very hard to deliver a great show. The diving was spectacular  and the island of Mona is breathtaking to behold. A couple of times  climbing up the cliffs to enter the caves was a little tricky and the  size of the huge iguanas on the island was a little unsettling. The cave  system is incredible vast and spectacular. The pre-Columbian writing  was also amazing to behold.

Of  course we can't leave out diving on one of Captain Kidd's actual ships,  the Quedagh Merchant, in the Dominican Republic. It was a great  experience to dive on it and also to view the spectacular marine life  all around on the reefs and the cliff dive that we did later on in the  day.
