The most part of the globe is covered with water and millions of species dwell in its depth, many of them are still unknown to us. Let’s start around-the-world odyssey across the seas and the oceans and meet the creatures that live underwater.

From the Eastern coast of Australia to the coasts of Peru and Chili and backwards we will follow the loggerhead turtle. This voyage of more than 30 000 km long is the longest migration in the world. Together with baby humpback whale and its mother we will swim in the Pacific ocean from the active volcanoes of Hawaii to the gorgeous glaciers of Alaska. This is a truly sublime journey from fire to ice during which we’ll see how baby whale is growing under mother protection and is learning to live independently.

Turtles and whales are commonly known to all. But have you ever heard about a snakelike jellyfish that is up to 40 meters long? About a cannibal squid, or a shark that can only walk on the seabed? May be, about a giant Australian cuttlefish that has three hearts and green blood? The series presents the episodes about the most unusual and shocking sea creatures, rare footage and unexpected facts. For example we will learn the story of Great Barrier Reef and will dive in one of the most mysterious seas – Sulawesi.

The program does not leave untouched the conservational questions. Unfortunately it’s becoming urgent for more and more species and occurs not only because of environmental pollution or global warming. Thus, the popularity of the cartoon “Finding Nemo” led to everyone’s desire to have this clownfish at home. More than 20 million clownfish were taken from the wild and today it’s not so much a case of finding Nemo as saving him.
