Descending

Seasoned travellers Scott Wilson and Andre Dupuis begin a new journey descending into the world beneath the waves. They travel to New Zealand to recruit a friend for the adventure, but equipment challenges and harsh weather cause trouble.

The team crosses New Zealand's North Island to board a sunken cruise ship, push their limits in a cave dive, and are awestruck by the vibrant and healthy marine reserve at Poor Knights Island.

The team ventures to Djibouti to swim with the world's largest fish, and overcome travel challenges to get to Sudance to dive Cousteau's Conshelf II and a WWII wreck with deadly cargo.

Scott brings the team back home to Canada for some cold-water diving off Vancouver Island. Scott makes friends with some questionable creatures and then pilot a jet at 80ft below the surface.

While island-hopping in the Caribbean, the team meets the 'Dive God'. But there is trouble in paradise as the team learns of a poisonous, invasive species that threatens these beautiful blue waters.

Continuing their Caribbean island hopping, the team contemplates underwater art in Grenada, comes face to face with the ocean's largest carnivore in Dominica, and then goes deepers than they ever have before (1000+ft)!

Scott and Ellis visit South Africa to face their fears and brave some of the most notorious shark-filled waters in the world. Disaster strikes on what should have been an easy shipwreck dive.

Scott and Ellis are in Los Angeles to see if vibrant marine life can exist off the highly developed coast of Southern California. The team scours the Sea of Cortez in search of the elusive and fearsome “diablos rojos”.

Facing frigid waters, the Descending team travels to Iceland to witness the newest part of our planet being formed. Scott and Ellis touch two continents at once in some of the world’s clearest water and attempt to dive where no one has gone before.

History fanatic Scott talks Ellis into diving the shark-infested waters off the coast of the Solomon Islands. This tiny South Pacific nation played a strategic role during WWII and she still has the scars...and wrecks...to prove it.

For centuries, the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes have shaped the story of Canada. The team takes a trip through history and visits the world’s best collection of freshwater shipwrecks to discover what makes this water so great.

In Indonesia, Scott and Ellis experience Raja Ampat. Ellis befriends a local Papuan who teaches him to fish like a local and the divers have a close encounter with Giant Manta Rays. A terrifying accident shakes the confidence of the team.

Following his accident, Scott finds the strength to dive again. In Indonesia’s Lembeh Strait, the mission is to film as many strange creatures as they can find. The team concludes their year-long journey on the remote island of Vanuatu.
