The last of three films showing man's varied involvement with wild animals on land and in the sea. Giants of the Vermilion Sea Narrator Hugh Falkus
Would you swim with a 30 ton whale shark, 50 feet long and with a mouth five-feet wide - the largest fish in the world?
Krov and Ann Menuhin - husband and wife film partners in underwater adventure - did just that, and more. In the Gulf of California they cruise and dive in one of the richest but least-known seas of the world. They meet huge grey whales, basking sharks, dive-bombing pelicans and the rare blue whale. They join the sea-lions' graceful ballet - and then encounter the gigantic whale shark.
Filmed and directed by Krov Menuhin
