The Discovery Channel website revealed that the host of this show, which is part of this year’s Shark Week, will be TV personality Tom Bergeron, former host of “Dancing with the Stars” and “America’s Funniest Home Videos.” He also happens to be from Haverhill, Massachusetts.

The show will begin on July 20, with the onset of Shark Week.

According to the website, the show will feature “an unprecedented underwater dance competition between expert divers and their shark partners. Blending skill, grace and the daring pursuit of the ultimate underwater thrill, five divers—all trained by a world-class underwater choreographer—will compete to show off their skills during epic underwater dances.

“Each diver will attempt to outperform their competitors, with moves including the Hammerhead Hoedown and Tiger Trot, and redefine dancing with danger.”
