Through their stories. We get to explore the ocean from many very different perspectives. So who did we talk to?We spoke to the most interesting people we could find from Marine biologists to underwater criminal investigators.

Jason Elias:

Dive masters who have dived exotic locations around the world to award winning free dive photographers. We talked with cave divers and nuclear power plant divers. We heard from media personalities at the forefront of the conversation around diving and spoke with a woman so connected to the water that she actually became a mermaid.

Paul Kelway:

We also spoke with scientists working to study and protect our ocean and its inhabitants, from a Marine biologist who took a research sub to one of the deepest spots in the ocean to a behavior ecologist at the forefront of efforts to decode the language of sperm whales.
