Sorry the episode is a little late…. But it’s a bumper!
Alan has been checking out hypercars while sharks have been checking out Thom. In the news, we have art, anglerfish, squid and sea spiders. Then an orafish turns up, and we are all doomed.
In this month's episode, we discuss mesophotic reefs, the deeper extents of coral reefs that have been overlooked in the past. It’s a wild ride that leads us to homemade hyperbaric chambers, the aquarium trade and the world’s most expensive fish. Strap in for a rollercoaster ride as we dive to the limits of scuba.
