Enthusiastic Amateur Diver Shares His Discoveries With You! (short story)

Enthusiastic Amateur Diver Shares His Discoveries With You! was the first short story exclusively published on the Daryl the Diver website on 27 April 2011 by the BBC and Punchdrunk to coincide with the immersive experience The Crash of the Elysium. This short story was another part of a range of fiction published on tie-in websites as part of the viral marketing for the experience, by a fictional blog post by Daryl Christofi about his dives to the sunken Elysium.

Plot
Introducing his website, Daryl Christofi apologises that it is still "under construction" as he has been dedicating more of his time to diving. Daryl then writes about the Elysium and how it sank, mentioning its cargo of gold ingots, which is what sparked his interest in the vessel.

Continuing, Daryl reveals that he has only had one successful dive to the sunken Elysium, in which he located the ship and and gained entry inside, rescuing a few pieces of pottery and other artefacts in the process. Daryl details more information about the Elysium and concludes by saying he plans to return to the ship as soon as he gets better equipment.

 * Daryl Christofi

Continuity

 * The steamer Elysium and its crash plays pivotal role in the marketing and tie-in stories for STAGE: The Crash of the Elysium, however ironically, doesn't play a large role in the immersive experience itself as another Elysium, a spaceship, took narrative precedence.
 * This story also mentions a touring exhibition, an oblique reference to the STAGE: The Crash of the Elysium being set up to appear as a historical exhibit about the Elysium at the beginning.
