00:00Only one creature has carved a life for itself in every habitat on Earth.
00:13That creature is us.
00:19All over the world we still use our ingenuity to survive in the wild places, far from the
00:25city lights, face-to-face with raw nature.
00:31This is the human planet.
00:46The sea covers 70% of our planet's surface.
00:49It's home to three quarters of all life on Earth.
01:03All the creatures found here are perfectly adapted to thrive in the ocean.
01:11All except one.
01:31We are not evolved for a life aquatic and we're way out of our depth in this dangerous
01:38and alien world.
01:47But great opportunities await those people who dare to venture into the water.
01:55As we immerse ourselves ever deeper in the big blue, how do we overcome the enormous
02:01challenges that confront us?
02:31Our relationship with the ocean begins on the coast.
02:39Even here the sea is a force to be reckoned with.
02:46Galicia in northern Spain is home to one of Europe's most treacherous coasts.
02:54But the more extreme the conditions, the greater the rewards.
02:58With a life like Javier and Ángel, you're prepared to take the risk.
03:20Javier and Ángel are on the hunt for a strange creature that clings to the way battle rots
03:26at the bottom of these cliffs.
03:42They have to move fast, their quarry is only exposed at low tide.
03:56It's goose barnacles they're after, a highly prized delicacy that can sell for 200 euros
04:24a kilo.
04:26But it's not easy pickings, each year about five collectors die.
04:32Few dare work when it's this rough, but those who do can charge a premium for their harvest.
04:39Despite the onslaught, Javier's filled his bag.
04:55Now it's Ángel's turn, and though it's getting even rougher, he's going in with no safety
05:06rope.
05:13Working unattached allows him to dash between waves and reach the lowest rocks where the
05:19biggest barnacles grow.
05:21But one slip could be fatal.
05:33And though the tide's coming in, Ángel's determined to collect more.
06:03Javier and Ángel's gamble paid off.
06:07In two hours they've gathered enough goose barnacles to fetch around 800 euros.
06:13Not bad for a day at the seaside.
06:17It's this abundance of food that entices us into the waves, and just a little further
06:33out there are even greater riches.
06:39Coastal waters account for just one tenth of the world's oceans, but they're home to
06:44the vast majority of marine life.
06:51The trouble is, as we venture further from the shore, the dangers escalate.
07:01Benjamin's training to be a harpoonist, and he knows any day now all he's learned could
07:07be put to the test.
07:27He lives on a small Indonesian island called Lembata.
07:32Few crops grow in this rocky land, and even surviving from the sea is a struggle.
07:40But there's one animal they wait for that can dramatically change their fortunes.
08:02The whole village springs into action.
08:21It's a race against time to get out to sea.
08:32Benjamin and the rest of the crew are about to take on the biggest predator that's ever
08:38lived.
08:47They all know the risks, but opportunities don't come easily.
08:53The sperm whale.
08:58Up to 18 metres long, these mighty leviathans are powerful animals, and they won't go down
09:05without a fight.
09:09With simple wooden boats and handmade weapons, the whalers seem ill-prepared for battle,
09:14but this is how it's been for 600 years.
09:19They can only be caught in the middle of the ocean, and they're not afraid of the water.
09:24They're not afraid of the sea.
09:27They're not afraid of the sea.
09:30They're not afraid of the sea.
09:33This is how it's been for 600 years.
09:38They can only harpoon the whale when it surfaces to breed, so they need to move fast.
09:54Benjamin's brother prepares to launch himself at the whale.
09:59This is the most dangerous moment of all.
10:08But he misses.
10:13And now someone else will step up before the whale dies.
10:19Benjamin's moment has arrived.
10:29He's got it.
10:36But the battle has just begun.
10:43As the whale fights to break free, they move to harpoon the whale.
10:50The harpoon is a powerful weapon, and it's a bit of a pain in the ass.
10:55As the whale fights to break free, they move to harpoon it again.
11:06They need to prevent it from diving and pulling a boat under.
11:18But it's not enough.
11:21Terrified of the thrashing whale, the crew scramble to safety.
11:37Another boat attacks and harpoons the whale once more.
11:43Now dragging several boats, the whale slowly tires.
12:06Eventually, the harpoon breaks free.
12:10Eventually, its struggles are exhausted,
12:15and a final cut through its backbone is made.
12:35It's been an epic eight-hour battle,
12:39but Benjamin has shown his skill and bravery.
12:47And this time, everyone returns safely home.
12:54The death of a whale may be sad to us, but this is their lifeline.
13:00One catch can feed a village for months.
13:03And this small-scale hunt in Rembata
13:06doesn't threaten whale numbers in these oceans.
13:09They only take around six whales a year.
13:15Nothing is wasted. The meat is shared out.
13:19As the man who dealt the decisive blow,
13:22Benjamin gets a larger share.
13:26And for a while at least, his family won't be going hungry.
13:33Although we've evolved for a life on land,
13:36we've become remarkably efficient oceanic hunters.
13:44Adaptability is the secret of our success
13:47at discovering new ways to exploit the ocean.
13:56And in a few special places,
13:59this means working with the creatures of the sea.
14:08These fishermen of Laguna in Brazil
14:11have forged one of the most extraordinary partnerships
14:14between humans and wild animals found anywhere on Earth.
14:23Edson is up early to fish for whale meat.
14:29He fished the large numbers of mullet
14:31that migrate through these waters every May.
14:36But there's a problem.
14:38The water's so murky,
14:40the fishermen can't see where to cast their nets.
14:46So they join forces with the most intelligent animal in the sea.
14:52But like all relationships,
14:54a certain amount of patience is required.
14:59You don't like it?
15:06Finally, their friends surface.
15:12The local bottlenose dolphins are celebrities in Laguna.
15:17In fact, Edson and his pal Alfredo know each one by name.
15:22Figueiredo is bringing us some fish.
15:25It's a good one.
15:30Incredibly, the dolphins drive the mullet towards the fishermen
15:35and even signal when to cast their nets
15:38with these distinctive dives.
15:55The fishermen say they can tell the size of the school
15:59and which way it's travelling
16:01from the vigour and direction of the dive.
16:10The dolphins do the hard work herding the mullet.
16:16Fish are served to the fishermen on a plate.
16:19But what the dolphins stand to gain is less clear.
16:23Since they detect prey by echolocation,
16:26they have no problem hunting in the murky water.
16:29But picking off individuals from the school is more difficult.
16:34It seems the nets panic the fish into breaking formation,
16:38making them much easier for the dolphins to chase down.
16:42As the nets are hauled in,
16:44the benefits of teamwork are revealed.
16:47Edson and the other fishermen have no doubt
16:50how much the dolphins love the mullet.
16:53They're not afraid of it.
16:58The fish are not afraid of the mullet.
17:03They're not afraid of the mullet.
17:08They're not afraid of the mullet.
17:11Edson and the other fishermen have no doubt
17:14how much the dolphins help them.
17:41No matter how we catch it,
17:44seafood is vital to human survival,
17:47providing the main source of protein
17:50for about half the world's population.
17:57But there's a problem.
18:00The mullet is too big.
18:03It can't be caught.
18:06But there's a lot more to our ancient connection with the sea
18:10than just food.
18:14The more we've come to depend on the ocean
18:17and the further we've pushed into its vast frontier,
18:20the greater its influence has become in our lives.
18:29The Pacific covers one third of the globe.
18:33The tiny specks of land in the middle of it
18:36are about as remote as life can get for a human being.
18:53With so few options on land,
18:56the surrounding ocean underpins almost all of the world's oceans.
19:01On land, the surrounding ocean underpins
19:04almost every aspect of life on a Pacific island.
19:19Over 3,000 kilometres from the nearest continent,
19:22Hawaii is one of the most isolated of all.
19:26There are few places where the sea
19:29has had a greater impact on human existence.
19:48The ocean, significantly to us, it's our home.
19:52Our connection is so great
19:55we look at it as our origin.
19:58The water is who we are,
20:01and the water is our mother, our father, our gods.
20:06For Tom Poako Stone,
20:09displaying his skill in the ocean
20:12is a central part of what it means to be Hawaiian.
20:21Sliding on waves, as it was known,
20:24has been practised by the Polynesians for millennia.
20:27But it was around 1,000 years ago
20:30when they arrived in Hawaii that it evolved into surfing.
20:35We actually learned that we could construct boards
20:39to stand up and surf a wave.
20:42It became a very ritualistic component of our culture.
20:49Far more than just a sport,
20:52surfing was a sacred art form for Tom's ancestors.
20:56It was a core part of their society
20:59and the noble pursuit of warriors, kings and queens.
21:09We have a lot of history about women that surf.
21:13And, you know, they surf so well
21:16that they actually reach godly status.
21:22We revered these women.
21:36From ancient origins, surfing has now gone global.
21:41And for some, searching for the ride of your life
21:44has become an extreme obsession.
21:52December 9, 2009.
21:55The world's surfing elite has gathered in Hawaii
21:58to ride some of the biggest swells
22:01to hit these shores in over a decade.
22:22Surfing certainly changed.
22:25But for many, it's still a way of life.
22:28And the best riders are still revered as gods
22:31amongst the worldwide surfing tribe.
22:45With waves over 15 metres, five stories high,
22:49this is a real test of skill and stamina.
22:52Ken Bradshaw is famed for his amazing surfing skills.
22:57Ken Bradshaw is famed for taming a 26-metre wave,
23:25probably the biggest ever ridden.
23:27But these unpredictable swells can claim even the most seasoned surfer.
23:54Trapped in a rolling mountain of white water,
23:57Ken is tossed around like a rag doll in a washing machine.
24:03Just as he surfaces, another giant breaker comes crashing in.
24:27After a relentless pounding from six excessive waves,
24:31Ken eventually escapes in one piece.
24:39All big wave surfers know the risks,
24:42but the adrenaline and the glory is addictive.
24:48And just as the ancient Hawaiians discovered,
24:51surfing is still the most spectacular demonstration
24:55of our ability to conquer the waves.
25:56Our mastery of the sea is impressive,
25:58but we'll never tame its full fury.
26:04The enormous waves of December the 9th
26:07were created by intense tropical cyclone activity in the Pacific.
26:14When warm waters fuel the ferocity of depressions over the ocean,
26:19they can create the most violent weather systems on Earth.
26:25People must stay well away from the raging sea
26:27during these tempestuous times,
26:30but they can't stop it coming to them.
26:39These super storms with winds of over 300 kilometres per hour
26:44wreak havoc on the human world.
26:51It can take years to recover from the destruction.
27:02Sometimes over 1,600 kilometres wide,
27:06hurricanes and typhoons are persistent reminders
27:09of the ocean's awesome force.
27:16It's little wonder that coastal people
27:18look at these mighty waters with great reverence.
27:23But not just for the power of the ocean,
27:26but also the power of the creatures that live in it.
27:34In the islands off Papua New Guinea,
27:37Blaze is known as a sorcerer of the sea.
27:47Possessing the mysterious ability to summon sharks from the deep
27:51is one of the last so-called shark cause,
27:56a traditional hunting technique steeped in superstition.
28:31Blaze respects ritual, but he also understands shark behaviour.
28:37Rattling in the water mimics the activity of feeding fish.
28:42Sharks can detect these vibrations from three kilometres away,
28:46but they don't always respond.
28:48And as industrial fishermen, Blaze considers life on the water
28:53to be a life on the shore.
28:55But he's not sure of how it will all go.
28:58He's looking for a way to survive.
29:01And there's no way to do that.
29:03No, there's no way.
29:04There's no way to survive.
29:06It's not possible to survive on the water.
29:08It's not possible to live on the water.
29:11There's no way.
29:13And it's not possible to live on the water.
29:15And as industrial fishing decimates shark numbers,
29:20the waits are getting even longer.
29:35Finally, a grey reef shark emerges from the blue.
29:40Blaze has appeased its spirit.
29:45But now he has to catch it, and sharks are notoriously skittish.
29:56It's a game of cat and mouse.
30:05Blaze tries to entice the shark close enough to slip a noose around its neck.
30:15But one false move and it's game over.
30:23Finally, it takes the bait.
30:26Slowly, he prepares the noose.
30:46Blaze can't keep hold of the thrashing shark,
30:49but this wooden float prevents it diving.
31:16Then, as if under a spell, the shark suddenly stops.
31:28But in fact, the float exploits a quirk in shark biology.
31:32Exhausting it so much, it enters a state known as tonic immobility.
31:41Blaze approaches with caution.
31:43The shark is still very much alive and its bite could cause serious injury.
32:02In the past, Blaze would have killed the shark for food.
32:07But today, he lets it go free.
32:14Blaze is committed to keeping his shark-calling culture alive.
32:23And this means keeping sharks alive.
32:44And it's not just traditions that are threatened.
32:50In some seas around the world,
32:52a growing shortage of fish is forcing people deeper and deeper
32:56just to land a decent catch.
33:00So deep, they venture to the very limits of human survival.
33:05Welcome to the world of the piling divers,
33:08perhaps the most dangerous fishing method of all.
33:13Eighty men, many of whom are still teenagers,
33:16are preparing to dive to over 40 metres.
33:20Breathing air pumped through these makeshift tubes
33:23by this rusty compressor.
33:27Joseph is one of the youngest divers in the world.
33:31Joseph is one of the youngest aboard, but he's aware of the risks.
33:43He's already witnessed just how lethal his job can be.
34:01The seas around the Philippines were once rich with life,
34:06but they've been so overexploited
34:08that decent fish numbers are only found at perilous depths.
34:31The divers guide the huge ball of nets 40 metres down to the seafloor,
34:36but all the while, their air supply is at risk.
34:42Back on the boat, the ailing compressor
34:44and the ever-worsening tangle of tubes need constant attention.
34:51Like a failing heart pumping through clogged arteries,
34:54if this circulation system fails,
34:56at this depth, it's almost certain death.
35:07Joseph and the team unravel the nets
35:09and lay them out by securing them to rocks.
35:25They must work fast.
35:27Joseph knows the longer he spends at these depths,
35:30the more dangerous it becomes.
35:33With every breath, more nitrogen dissolves in his body,
35:36making him increasingly vulnerable to decompression sickness.
35:40The bends.
35:55The top of the net is suspended by plastic containers filled with air,
35:59creating a huge, cavernous trap beneath.
36:11Now it's time to set the scare lie.
36:15The boats drag the 1,000-metre line
36:18to form a huge circle around the net,
36:21and the divers position themselves along it.
36:27Joseph and the team are ready to go.
36:33The boat is ready to go.
36:37The boat is ready to go.
36:41The boat is ready to go.
36:44Joseph and the team begin closing the trap by swimming towards the net.
36:50The waving streamers and the curtain of rising bubbles
36:53panics the fish and they flee.
37:03As the line of divers tightens,
37:05more and more fish swim straight into the gaping net.
37:14This deep-sea roundup is so effective,
37:17it can take 50% of the fish from a reef.
37:36The net is closed, and now Joseph must do something even more dangerous.
37:41Get inside and herd the catch to the far end.
38:03On deck, the tangled web of tubes is getting worse.
38:12Once the catch is concentrated,
38:14the net is released from its anchor points.
38:23Now comes the most lethal stage of all.
38:26Guiding the net into the water,
38:28the divers are forced to pull the net out of the water.
38:34The net is pulled out of the water,
38:36the net is pulled out of the water,
38:38the net is pulled out of the water.
38:41Guiding the net as it shoots to the surface.
38:44All too often, the divers ascend too quickly and get the bends.
38:49As the catch is hauled onto the boat, its size is revealed.
38:55Just under a tonne of fish isn't bad.
38:59But it's not enough.
39:02It's not enough.
39:05It's not enough.
39:08It's not enough.
39:11It's not enough.
39:14It's not enough.
39:18But it's nowhere near what these fishermen were landing a few years ago.
39:24And this isn't the only problem.
39:26Some of the crew do have the bends.
39:30One diver has returned to the bottom to relieve the symptoms.
39:34Whilst closer to the surface,
39:36another is massaged to release the painful bubbles in his spine.
39:40Every day, these piling divers are taking greater risks for dwindling rewards.
40:11Joseph has his dreams.
40:14But the harsh reality is,
40:16he'll be diving twice again today,
40:19just to make ends meet.
40:23We've become so successful in the ocean,
40:26it's predicted that in 50 years,
40:28almost all the fish could be gone.
40:34And this may not be the only change to come.
40:38All around the world, sea levels are rising.
40:41Soon, our planet could be even more dominated by the ocean.
40:46And our ability to survive here will be pushed to the very limit.
40:58Yet there are some people who've already adapted to life in a water world.
41:08In the coral seas between Borneo, Sulawesi and the Philippines,
41:13there are people who live more intimately with the ocean than any other culture on Earth.
41:28The Bajau Laut build their lives in the middle of the sea,
41:33often many kilometres from land.
41:38The Bajau Laut
41:47The ocean has a profound influence on every aspect of their existence.
41:52They even measure the passage of time by the rhythm of the tides,
41:56rather than minutes and hours.
42:07And there are some whose relationship with the sea runs even deeper.
42:20The Bajau, who live on houseboats,
42:23have almost completely severed their ties with the land.
42:32Nohara rarely sets foot ashore.
42:37I have to work.
42:40Sometimes I have to ride a motorcycle.
42:47We ride our motorcycles,
42:51because we have to go to work.
42:55If we don't ride our motorcycles, we can't go to work.
42:59We have to go to work.
43:02Nohara and her family usually only visit land to trade for rice and fuel,
43:08or to mend their boats.
43:11But like many Bajau, Nohara gets land sick,
43:15and she prefers to stay aboard.
43:19Her family has no nationality, no fixed abode and almost no money,
43:24but the ocean provides everything they need.
43:29They eat a bewildering variety of seafood.
43:41Her children adapt to an aquatic way of life from a very young age.
43:50Some Bajau children spend so much time in the sea,
43:54their eyes adjust to focus better underwater.
44:00But there's one member of this community
44:03whose adaptation is even more staggering.
44:10Sulbin is an underwater hunter
44:13and the living proof of just how far we can push our bodies towards a life aquatic.
44:25When I was young, I didn't know how to swim.
44:31Now that I know how to swim, I'm very happy.
44:36I'm very happy to be here.
44:41Sulbin's search for supper takes him on an incredible journey under the waves,
44:47and his abilities will take your breath away.
44:55First, he prepares by entering a trance-like state.
45:01When I was young, I couldn't swim.
45:05I couldn't breathe.
45:11I couldn't breathe.
45:18Sulbin is about to push his body almost beyond the realms of possibility.
45:24And if you want to try and join him,
45:27get ready to hold your breath for as long as you can.
45:36He takes one last breath.
45:58Focused and calm, Sulbin descends 20 metres to the seafloor.
46:15His heartbeat slows to around 30 beats per minute.
46:20The pressure at these depths crushes his chest
46:24squeezing the air in his lungs to one third of its usual volume.
46:32Even without weights, he's negatively buoyant enough
46:36to stride across the bottom of the sea as if hunting on land.
46:55By now, the carbon dioxide in his blood
46:58causes an almost irresistible urge to gasp for air.
47:02But Sulbin must keep his mind on the hunt.
47:16After a minute and three quarters, Sulbin is ready to go.
47:24Sulbin spots a fish.
47:38Sulbin can go even deeper than this and stay down for up to five minutes.
47:46But he's not one to show off, and after all, he's got what he came for.
47:51Two and a half minutes of hunting under pressure on one breath.
47:57Perhaps the idea of humans existing as marine mammals
48:01is not so far-fetched after all.
48:15Through amazing adaptability and endeavour,
48:19we've pushed our limits of survival into the ocean.
48:23And as we've immersed ourselves deeper in the sea,
48:26it's had a profound effect on our lives.
48:36But as we continue to change the nature
48:39of the greatest environment on our planet,
48:42how we'll adapt in the future remains to be seen.
48:50MUSIC PLAYS
48:57The most technical and demanding shoots
49:00for the Human Planet Oceans Programme
49:03were those that took place underwater.
49:06The dive camera crew were well-prepared
49:09to film fishermen in the Philippines,
49:12but they weren't quite prepared for the dangers they'd witness
49:16and the friendships they'd forge.
49:22Limanangkong is home to the 80 piling fishermen
49:25the film crew will follow.
49:29This is Simon.
49:31And this is Roger.
49:33They're underwater.
49:43Two fishing boats are crammed with 80 divers,
49:46their food and provisions
49:48before heading out for two weeks at sea.
49:55At the fishing grounds,
49:57Simon and Roger are playing catch-up
49:59as their technical underwater equipment is slowing them down.
50:03I've just dropped the line.
50:05They didn't even tell us the captain seems to be on a real mission
50:08to prove something today, so we've got to go fast.
50:14Underwater filming is risky,
50:16but these risks are nothing compared to those faced daily
50:20by the compressor divers.
50:23Compressor diving is a dangerous way to make a living.
50:29Air, often tainted with diesel,
50:32is pumped through thin plastic tubes right down to the divers.
50:38At 64, Jonning is one of the veterans on the boat
50:42and knows the harsh realities of compressor diving.
50:53When I was 15 years old,
50:55that's when I found myself diving.
50:59Most of the divers are young and fit, and they need to be.
51:03It's physically demanding work
51:05and the men are totally reliant on the compressor
51:08to keep them breathing.
51:23To use basically what was essentially a garden hose down at 25 metres
51:27to pump air into your mouth is just mad.
51:32The biggest danger for these fishermen
51:34is known as decompression sickness, or the bends.
51:40The bends can happen when divers have been down deep for a long time
51:45and then come up too quickly to the surface.
51:48Nitrogen is absorbed into the body
51:50and as the divers rise up,
51:52bubbles are formed that can lodge in the joints,
51:55causing intense pain.
51:59Two guys are in real trouble on this deep dive.
52:04Martin, a young diver, is in such pain
52:07that his friend tries to relieve it by massaging him.
52:13Once on the surface,
52:15it's obvious to everyone that Martin is still in trouble.
52:22If not treated, the bends can lead to permanent injuries
52:26and even death.
52:30Meanwhile, the second diver, Michael, is also having problems.
52:35It seems like two men just came up with the bends.
52:38They went pretty deep on this dive, trying to get more fish,
52:41but we've taken them onto our boat to get some medical attention,
52:44so hopefully they're all right.
52:48Simon tries to relieve their symptoms
52:50with the crew's first aid supplies.
52:54Michael's had 15 minutes on oxygen.
52:56Now I've put Martin back onto another set of 15 minutes.
53:00And this is the rudimentary decompression first aid
53:04that we can give them at the moment.
53:06Give them oxygen, give them water to relieve their pain.
53:09Give them oxygen, give them water to rehydrate, keep them warm.
53:13Both of them are saying that their symptoms are decreasing
53:16and they're looking a lot more happier than they did about half an hour ago.
53:21He gives them oxygen,
53:23which helps reduce the nitrogen in their bodies and relieves their pain.
53:27But even this most basic of diving first aid
53:30is not normally available to the piling fishermen.
53:35This isn't surprising, as the fishermen in the Philippines
53:38belong to the lowest wage earners in the country,
53:41earning about US$25 for a week's work.
53:47However, for many, like Johnny and his family,
53:49this is their whole way of life.
54:09Flying place ice.
54:23His son had got the bends and now has to use crutches.
54:29But this isn't the only time
54:31the dangers of compressor diving have hit Johnny's family.
54:39He doesn't want to accept the fact that he has got the bends.
54:43He really wants to get better.
54:46For a long time, wherever I took him,
54:49like in poverty,
54:51I couldn't get any money.
54:53For a long time, when he was almost a year old,
54:56he got the bends.
54:58Maybe he did it because he was confused.
55:01He just tied himself with a rope
55:03so that he could die.
55:06I'm very sorry about that.
55:11That's terrible.
55:15That's very sad, isn't it?
55:17Yes.
55:29Having spent a week living and working with the compressor divers,
55:32Simon and Roger have become very close to the fishermen.
55:38To fully understand their way of life,
55:40Simon needed to experience firsthand
55:42what it's like to be a compressor diver.
55:48So Johnny is keen to take him on a shallow dive.
55:55Seeing the boys do it, they've made it look easy,
55:57but we've had several guys that have gone down
55:59with symptoms of the bends.
56:01I've got to admit, I'm feeling a little bit apprehensive, actually.
56:09Simon has scuba dived for 16 years
56:12and has logged over 3,000 dives,
56:14but this is diving at its most basic.
56:25That's bad. For the first minute,
56:28I was a little bit petrified, actually.
56:31This is a violent thing.
56:33It's just punching air down your throat.
56:35It's quite mad.
56:37It took me a minute to kind of get myself under control,
56:40and then once you got the hang of it
56:42and once you believed in it and trusted it,
56:44then you could swim off.
56:58There's a couple of times when I lost it.
57:00I was flailing around everywhere,
57:02trying to find it again and get it back in,
57:05but Johnny was keeping a good eye on me
57:09and the rest of the guys were as well.
57:11But, yeah, no, I wouldn't want to do that
57:13for a whole sort of fish-catching session,
57:16that's for sure.
57:18A strong camaraderie between the divers has been forged.
57:21The film crew have captured a dramatic sequence
57:24and the fishermen head home happy
57:27with a boatload of fish to sell.
57:49It's beautiful.
57:51It's like a way of life.
57:53You can catch a lot of fish and people are happy.
57:58Johnny and everyone on board
58:00have finished another piling fishing trip
58:03and all can return safe and sound to their families.
