Underwater cameraman Ken O'Sullivan sets out on a series of voyages into the North Atlantic over two years from Ireland's Atlantic coast to try and find some of the largest animals ever to have on planet Earth. Blue and sperm whales, groups of courting basking sharks and cold water coral reefs 3,000 metres down in dark, cold Atlantic waters, once regarded as the 'place of the devil'. Combining wildlife sequences of animals and behaviour filmed for the first time in any television documentary, with an enlightening, central narrative, these two documentaries pay homage to our earliest sea farers and investigate the health of our deep Atlantic waters.

“… the footage Ken and his crew get of the deep ocean and its inhabitants is extraordinary, up there with anything to be seen in The Blue Planet or any other outstanding nature documentaries, and O’Sullivan’s passion for his subject is both evident and admirable.” - Irish Independent
“… the nature documentary was a balm for tired eyes, an appealing vista of some of the most graceful creatures on the planet joyfully surging like huge grey torpedoes through oceans of the purest blue.” - Sunday Post
