In this episode, we visit the ocean waters off the island of Beqa, Fiji. Fijian songs and meke (traditional dance) are interwoven with footage of some of Fiji's diverse marine life, where coral reefs, a variety of reef fish, and Bull Sharks make for great diving. In late 2005, the first of Fiji's planned Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) were established by local villages. Director of Dive Operations for Aqua-Tek, Brandon Paige, discusses the importance of this conservation effort, and how it benefits both visiting divers and local villagers. Fiji’s Great Sea Reef is the third longest barrier reef in the world. It is hoped that by 2020, an MPA Network covering 30% of the country's waters will have been established.

Historic images, a recent interview with Scripps Diving Officer Emeritus Jim Stewart, and modern ROV footage of the underwater site take us on an ocean journey through time to revisit the 1965 underwater habitat experiment called SeaLab II.

Scripps Institution of Oceanography divers worked as support for the SeaLab II project which took place not far off the end of Scripps Pier in La Jolla, California. A special thank you to Jim Stewart, Kevin Hardy, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Scripps Archives, Scripps Library, and Walt Mazzone.... ...divefilm.com
