The series features geological research undertaken by Prof Andy Wheeler (BEES) and shows images of coral in a submarine canyon at 2000m depth taken by an ROV (remotely operated vehicle) deployed from the R.V. Celtic Explorer.
This documentary is full of beautiful footage by Ken O'Sullivan and his dedicated team who persisted with it for four years to showcase what we have here in Irish waters! Definitely worth a watch!
