The Ocean: The Last Frontier on Earth. So much is unexplored and unexplained. To change that, okay, let's do it! Ready: a kick-ass team of insanely talented specialists is setting out to push the frontiers of what we know about our oceans. Just stunningly beautiful! Their secret weapon: the Ocean Explorer, the most technologically advanced research vessel ever built.

We just saw what no one has seen before! With the combination of the team's efforts and the ship's incredible tech, we got one. We got one! The team has made significant discoveries about our oceans. Let's [Music] go!

When I'm navigating, I don't just use a map and compass to find out where I am. I use other senses, like sight, to look for landmarks. Once we get on location, we'll try and get in the water if it's safe to do so. Welcome! We're watching. We counted 11 whales in this group on one breath; you can be in their world. I've never seen anything like this!

This is insane; it doesn't get any more cutting edge than this. Being a deep sea researcher means having front-row tickets to the best movie that everybody wants to [Music] watch. This is real, real exploration. No idea what we are getting ourselves into. Oh my gosh, it's beautiful! Every single time we scan the seafloor, we find something that we never knew existed. And these are the sort of clues that help us solve the greatest ocean mysteries.

What bioluminescence in action! I've always been fascinated by the deep because it's so unusual. Here's a shark coming right toward us. I think that's the tag! I'm really excited! If all the electronics are working properly and the software is working properly, we're recording data that basically no one has ever had before. Let's turn a whale into a cameraman! Tag, tag, yes! It's communicating with its family.

You are seeing something that has never been seen before, and we get a first-person view. W two, two, two, two, another one! We've now got two humpbacks against 18 orca. For me, every single day has been a revelation. It's overwhelming to be frank.

Oh, oh! Shark! [Music] Shark! This is such an amazing opportunity to leave such a lasting impact in ways that haven't been done before. Oh no, they look fresh! Going to put a bunch of bait down at the bottom of the ocean and see what shows up. Launching! Every single interaction that we have with these animals is extremely valuable. It's a massive, massive shark! Oh my word!

Because this is a first. Oh my God! As a scientist, you always hope you get to experience the rare and extraordinary. It doesn't get much rarer than this! There's never been a more urgent need to understand our ocean. That's what we're looking for and the animals that call it home.

Oh my God! They're right underneath us! They're right underneath us because their lives and ours depend on it. [Music] [Music]
