Plus, Marcus springs a special scuba quiz on Louise and Jim...Who will win? All will be revealed!

Returning from a hiatus, Marcus and Louise bumped into Instructor Jim lurking outside the dive centre. As part of the Christmas and farewell episode Marcus thought a diving quiz might be fun for everyone. Opinions were divided...!

Ian attempts a free-dive record of his own (in the studio!) which concludes with him completing his own octopus-style colour change transformation. Plus Marcus has the latest reports from the news desk including some positive news on humpback whale populations.
