An exploration of the world under the water by aqua-lung divers near Adelaide in South Australia. This film shows glimpses of the unsurpassed beauty of underwater exploration, including sponges, red mullet, rock flathead, cowries, leather jackets and coral fish with long, narrow snouts. Wreck remains show that nature still challenges man.
