Beautiful reefs, exotic fish, fierce predators and sunken ships are just some of the treasures uncovered by renowned naturalist filmmaker John Stoneman as he ventures below the surface. Swim safely amongst predators in The Savage Reef and Killers of the Deep. Explore beautiful and densely populated coral reefs in Coral World and Shipwrecks. Study the daily lives and sometimes strange habits of coral reef creatures in Shadowland and Creatures of the Sand. Finally, investigate the legend of the Bermuda Triangle in The Mysterious Sea and understand the devastating toll pollution and over-fishing are taking on The Fragile Ocean. Dive deep beneath the surface of Planet Ocean and experience the habitat and marine life up close, as few have done before.

VOLUME I
The Savage Reef (30 min)
The Coral Reef is not only one of the most diverse communities within the animal kingdom, but also one of the fiercest, with an overwhelming number of natural predators. Dive deep with John Stoneman as he studies these marauders, from tiny slugs and corals to mighty sharks.
Shipwrecks (30 min)
During World War II, nearly 100 ships, planes and submarines were sunk in Micronesia s Truk Lagoon. Many of the wrecks have now become artificial reefs, attracting a wide range of corals, fish life and interested divers like John Stoneman.

VOLUME II

Even fish need sleep, but what happens when night falls and nocturnal predators awake? John Stoneman swims the Caribbean coral reef at night to better understand the unique balance between day and night.
The Mysterious Sea (30 min)
Many tall tales have been told about the sea, but which stories are fact and which are fiction? Join John Stoneman as he explores the Bermuda Triangle and other legends that make the Caribbean such a fascinating place.

VOLUME III
Coral World (30 min)

The Fragile Ocean (30 min)
