John Chatterton is one of the world’s most accomplished and well known wreck divers. He was one of the co-hosts for the History Channel’s Deep Sea Detectives where they have completed work on an amazing 57 episodes of the successful series. He is also a consultant to the film and television industries and has worked with 20th Century Fox, Paramount Pictures, and CBS. Prior to his career in television, John spent twenty years working as a commercial diver in and around New York City, and was actually working in the water underneath the World Financial Center, across the street from the Tower #1, on 9/11/01.

His passion has always been researching and diving the deep shipwrecks of the world. In 1991, the discovery and subsequent identification of the German submarine U-869, off the coast of New Jersey, has been the subject of several television documentaries including Hitler’s Lost Sub, a two hour special for the popular NOVA series on PBS. This same story is now the subject of a New York Times bestselling book by Rob Kurson, called Shadow Divers. It is currently published in 21 languages. The movie rights to the international bestseller have been purchased by 20th Century Fox.

John was a member of the first technical diving expedition to Ireland and the legendary RMSLusitania, in 1994. A few years later, at a depth of 400 feet, he was the first diver to use rebreather diving technology on the wreck of HMHS Britannic,near the island of Kea in Greece.He was also the sole American on a British expedition, sponsored by the U.S. Holocaust Museum, looking for the historic shipwreck Struma in the Black Sea near Istanbul. These dives in Turkey were chronicled on the HBO documentary Struma. In addition, John has managed to make over 160 dives to the well known wreck of the Andrea Doria.

In August of 2005, John and his partners put together an expedition to the most famous shipwreck in the world, RMS Titanic. They dove the wreck to a depth of approximately 12,500 feet in the MIR submersibles from the Russian Research Ship, Keldysh. Their exploration was featured on the History Channel special, Titanic’s Final Moments – Missing Pieces. This award winning project was a first for John and his long time dive partner Richie Kohler in that they worked both in front of, and behind the camera. They produced the program with their close friend, Emmy Award winner Kirk Wolfinger. More specials are in the works.

The trio has also embarked on another new venture. They are producing a DVD video magazine for divers, called Dive Portal. Issue 2, has just been released to rave reviews.

When not diving shipwrecks around the world, John makes his home in Harpswell, Maine, with his lovely wife, Carla.
