What's lurking 75 metres beneath the waters of Deep Bay? Captain Dave and Larry the Lobster are about to find out — entirely by accident!

It begins as a peaceful morning of tide pool exploring near Deep Bay, just off Vancouver Island's coast. But when the depth gauge starts climbing fast, it's already too late — the Mellow Submarine tips over the edge of the Deep Bay drop off and goes sliding all the way to the ocean floor. What they discover down there is extraordinary: fish that glow like living stars, a red shrimp hiding in plain sight using colour as camouflage, a grumpy-faced snailfish, decorator crabs dressed in shells and sea bits — and a magnificent Giant Pacific Octopus who presses a dinner-plate-sized eye against the window and puts on a dazzling colour-changing show just for them.

 This episode is a sparkling reminder that the most amazing adventures can be hiding right beneath the surface of the places we think we know best.
