The "sea wind" is an ocean current that sweeps past Costa Rica and Panama, providing a fertile hunting ground for "the tigers of the sea" - marlin, sailfish, dolphins and tuna. These impressive marine predators lurk in the blue waters of the Pacific, using amazing turns of speed and team effort to attack their victims. Underwater cameraman Rick Rosenthal has captured for the first time the drama of the hunt.
Narrated by Christian Rodska.
