Descending - Season 1

Scott and Ellis cross New Zealand's North Island to board a sunken cruise ship, push their limits in a cave dive, and are awestruck by the vibrant and healthy marine reserve at the Poor Knights Islands.

The team ventures to Djibouti to swim with the world's largest fish – the whale shark – but must then overcome frustrating travel challenges to get to Sudan and dive Cousteau's Conshelf II and a WWII wreck with a deadly cargo.

Scott brings Ellis and the Descending team home to Canada for some cold-water diving off Vancouver Island. Scott and Ellis make friends with some questionable creatures and then pilot a jet at 80ft below the surface. Above the water, the team is put to work preparing a ship for scuttling.

While island-hopping in the Caribbean, Scott and Ellis meet the 'Dive God'. But there is trouble in paradise as the team learns of a poisonous, invasive species that threatens these beautiful blue waters.

Continuing their Caribbean island hopping, the Descending team contemplates underwater art in Grenada, comes face to face with the ocean's largest carnivore in Dominica, and then goes deeper (1000+ ft!) than they ever have before.
