Deep dive
Atlantic Ocean: Paul dives deep into strange layers of density, smell and colour in this "dive of a lifetime", one he doubts he'll ever do again.
Cave dive
Mediterranean Sea: A disorientating dive into black transforms into "gin" clear waters with beautiful rock formations.
Night dive
Mediterranean Sea: Paul holds his nerve during a close encounter with a six gill shark, a species that has survived 200 million years.
Coral dive
Red Sea: Fluorescent coral captivates Paul as they use blue beams of light to investigate the peculiar properties of this special coral.
Visit the locations section to find out more on the Black Hole of Andros, the submerged caves of Mallorca, the search for the six gill shark and fluorescent corals.

"To most, it was a pile of rubble on the sea bed, but it was bringing it alive that made it cool for me."

Philippe Cousteau
"Sometimes you'd see one attack another and start tearing into it. They're nasty creatures."
