The Deep
The sea's innermost depths are shrouded in mystery, a dangerous and alien place where humans fear to go. "The Deep" takes a fascinating journey into this world of silence, darkness and pressure. Free divers attempt to defy the sea, plunging into the black depths with only their lungs filled with air, and many are pulled from the water unconscious. Professional deep sea divers recount what it's like to spend weeks at a time in a totally alien environment. We also encounter the killer sharks who reign supreme over this unfamiliar world – and the people who have suffered their vicious attacks. One of South Africa's leading surfers tells of a great white shark that bit through his surfboard, and almost through his leg. A Florida-based lifeguard is haunted by a shark attack that occurred during her first pregnancy. And men who were aboard the U.S.S. Indianapolis remember a horrifying shark attack in 1945. After being torpedoed by a Japanese submarine, approximately 900 survivors floated in the water while their blood drew sharks. For five excruciating days, sharks stalked and attacked. When rescuers finally arrived, only 317 men were left alive.
