First of five underwater adventures.
The Galapagos Islands. Specially developed "bubble helmets" enable marine biologists Martha Holmes and Mike deGruy to talk underwater when they encounter the magnificent and sometimes dangerous creatures of the Galapagos. Penguins fly past colourful coral gardens in pursuit of clouds of tiny fish, marine iguanas feed on submerged seaweed, and in deeper water, the intrepid explorers hold their breath as the hammerhead sharks arrive.
