Descending

In this 13-part documentary series, hosts Scott Wilson and Ellis Emmett descend beneath the surface to explore the three-quarters of the planet that is covered in water. Each episode features a new location, where Wilson and Emmett discover all that the area has to offer. They explore the cultures of the local people, share stories of human triumph and tragedy, and connect the world on land to the one in the sea. With each dive into the unknown, they encounter creatures and sights that most people will never get to experience.
