A Dip in the Frozen Drink | Continent 7: Antarctica

Red diver, uh-- take a look at your green. Make sure that's not caught. Understand red.

NARRATOR: 20 feet underwater, Coast Guard divers are trying to check the props and rudder for damage.

Hey, red, turn to your left.

NARRATOR: But one of them is caught on the ice. Red diver's trying to assist him right now.

Put your arm up. Green diver, squared away. Is he good? OK, both divers? OK, red. OK, green. OK, both divers. There they go.

Now the fun begins. Where are you guys headed?

Uh, we're just gonna check [bleep] out. I only have one rudder. If I lose it, I can't steer the boat.

Hey, dude, you want to check out over here?

Yeah. This isn't the normal world. This is Antarctica. And we have to do dangerous things. The overriding pressure on my shoulders is fulfilling that mission to resupply Antarctica.

Now we look in-- Prop looks good. Hubs look great. Let's check out the rudder.

Sir, uh, everything looks good down here.

All right, just keep it here. Put the engines on 30 minutes standby. 30 minute standby on. Woo-hoo! We're good. Looking great.

Red diver, do you see the marine life 20 feet from here?

Woo-hoo! Got a big orca back here.
