[suspenseful music plays]

[waves lapping]

[dramatic music playing]

[host] This is the magnificent island of Fuvahmulah,

or as it's known locally, Shark Island.

And it's here that four elite teams of shark experts

are diving headfirst into an insane global competition

in the most shark-filled waters on the planet.

[woman] Holy sharks!

[host] Over the next six weeks,

they'll face off across some of the most exquisite,

extreme, and shark-rich locations.

The respect I have for sharks is huge.

-Yeah. -And that respect also comes with fear.

[suspenseful music playing]

-[dramatic music playing] -[host] Their mission?

Hunt down every shark species possible

and capture them all

through the lens of a camera.

[camera clicks]

[man] Strategy-wise, it's a constant conversation.

We have to maximize time finding the species that are around.

[host] Every picture of a shark earns points.

The team with the most points wins.

[man] Oh, there's a fin. Oh, Chris, it's a hammer.

[dramatic music continues]

I got excited.

That was sick.

My mind is still blowing inside my head.

I'm Tom "The Blowfish" Hird,

heavy-metal marine biologist,

dive master,

and proud owner of the finest beard in the ocean.

This is the ultimate underwater adventure.

The ocean is wild.

This area is known for having extremely strong currents

that can sweep you off the site.

[Tom] The conditions? Relentless.

And the sharks? They don't play by the rules.

It's like, this is another level.

[Tom] To win, you can't just get lucky.

You can't just get close.

That was insane.

[laughs]

[Tom] And you definitely can't just spot a few sharks.

This is All the Sharks.

[cameras clicking]

[dramatic music swells]

-[music fades] -[water burbling]

[tense music playing]

[Tom] Ladies and gentlemen, let me be the first to welcome you here

to the gorgeous island of Fuvahmulah

and to the start

of what I think is gonna be

the most insane shark competition the world has ever seen.

Still can't believe this is happening.

Having the opportunity to come and do this is, like, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

It's not gonna be easy.

This competition will push your expertise and your courage to the limit.

Here are the rules.

To win, you and your teammate must find and photograph

as many sharks as possible.

Every shark caught on camera earns you points.

The rarer the shark, the more points you earn.

At the end of it all, the team with the most points

will not only be crowned winner of All the Sharks

but earns 50 grand for their chosen marine charity.

Yeah, that'll be absolutely amazing.

We are, most importantly, here to win.

-Obviously. -So let it begin.

[Tom] Each team will be kitted out with underwater cameras,

but how you spend your eight hours a day

and manage your four tanks of air is entirely up to you.

The only rule, each shark must be clearly identifiable for it to count.

We're excited to use all the time available.

You'll never see us quit. That's for sure.

For me, it really feels like the night before a big game.

I'm just ready to take that first shot, let the whistle blow,

kick off, go, and get out in the water.

Without any further ado…

[suspenseful music builds]

…let's kit up and head out!

-[group cheering] -Yeah!

-All right! -Yeah!

-[rhythmic music playing] -[clock ticking]

[Tom] The teams are off.

Their first battleground, Fuvahmulah Island in the Maldives,

where over 30 species of shark patrol the waters,

including the elusive thresher shark,

a ghost of the deep so rare that a single photo is worth 75 points.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

Their massive whip-like tails, which can be as long as their bodies,

help them stun prey,

making them one of the most unique hunters in the ocean.

But at the other end of the spectrum,

Fuvahmulah is home

to the densest population of tiger sharks on the planet.

That's why snapping a photo of a tiger shark here

will earn you just three points.

[rhythmic music playing]

[Rosie] Fuvahmulah has a very interesting terrain.

So there's a very steep drop-off, which will get very deep very fast.

And obviously, there's species down there like thresher sharks

that you're gonna have to get deep for,

where there's some easier sharks

in very shallow water all around the island.

So you really have to pick what you're gonna go for and when

'cause we only have so many dives.

It's game time, and I think I'm ready for some friendly competition

with the other teams.

Totally. We've gotta love the competition. That's why we're here.

[Tom] The Land Sharks are kicking off their journey at a deep reef in the north.

[contemplative music playing]

The chance of seeing a thresher here's extremely high.

Yeah, we're gonna have to do it. That's just… yeah.

-Didn't come out here for nothing. -[Rosie laughs] No, we did not.

[both] Let's do it.

[Randy] I'm a wildlife biologist.

I've been fascinated with sharks since the age of three.

And I'm an ecologist that specializes in apex predators.

I think we all have this idea in our head

of what a scientist is supposed to look like.

And I don't think Randy or I really fit that mold.

I like to show girls that it's okay to be badass.

Go work with these crazy animals. Get down and dirty.

[Randy] For me, I was always one of the only Black guys in my classes.

I got that all the time. "Oh, you're doing white boy stuff."

And it's just like, "No, I'm doing stuff that I love."

We're confident. We're young. We're intelligent.

We're competitive. What's not to love?

[dramatic whoosh]

[mysterious music playing]

[Rosie] Let's keep our eye on the cleaning stations

and then work our way deeper.

[Randy] That's exactly where the threshers will be.

[Tom] A cleaning station is like an underwater car wash.

Sharks stop here to let tiny fish like wrasse

remove dead skin and parasites,

keeping them healthy.

It's one of those few times sharks stay still,

making it a prime spot for photos.

[Randy] I think I see a cleaning wrasse up here.

[Rosie] Oh yeah, on that yellow puffer. Good eye.

[Randy] Hope she's got an appointment with some sharks.

Keep that camera ready.

[Rosie] I was born ready.

[Randy] Right on cue. Whitetip reef down below.

[tense music playing]

[Tom] Whitetip reef sharks are among the most common predators

in the Indo-Pacific.

They possess the ability to rest motionless on the reef

by pumping water over their gills.

This incredible skill allows them to remain hidden in caves

or stay safe in the shallows, evading larger predators.

[tense music continues]

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

[Rosie] Okay, I got the shot. One point on the board.

Why don't we stick around and see if a thresher shows up?

Let's go do more of a sure thing sort of dive where we see tiger sharks.

I mean, personally, like, I just wanna see some sharks right now.

[Brendan] There's a luck element,

and then hopefully the knowledge, uh, that we bring to the table

gives us an edge.

[Tom] Playing the odds, the Shark Docs are sticking close to shore in Tiger Harbour,

home to over 200 tiger sharks

and the densest concentration of these predators anywhere on the planet.

These are worth three points, so yeah.

And if it's great, uh, then we'll do it again.

I'm Dr. Chris Malinowski.

I'm a marine biologist,

and I'm the director of research for a nonprofit, Ocean First Institute.

And I'm also a marine biologist, fisheries ecologist.

We've known each other for over ten years.

Aww, we get to showcase our bromance for the world. [laughs]

As a scientist, we work with these animals all the time.

That's got to give us competitive advantage.

[tense, mysterious music continues]

[Brendan] Watch out for that ledge. It drops 1,000 feet,

so we really need to watch our depth on this dive.

[Chris] It's a steep drop-off into the abyss.

I bet that's where the tigers ambush prey from.

I think it'd be smart if we look for a spot

to set up on the ledge and just wait.

[Brendan] They probably swim along here looking for an easy meal,

so keep your eyes out.

[Chris] Good spot to set up here.

Tiger shark!

[tense music playing]

[Chris] Damn, that's way out of camera range.

[Tom] Tiger sharks are one of the most formidable predators in the ocean,

with a bite force exceeding 850 pounds

and a two-foot-wide jaw

that can be armed with over 100 razor-sharp, serrated teeth.

They can slice through bone like butter

and crush turtle shells with brutal efficiency.

[Brendan] Which way did it go?

[eerie music playing]

[Chris] Dude, let's watch each other's backs.

They can come from any direction down here.

[Chris] Look behind you!

[tense music playing]

[Brendan] Oh, she's back.

[Brendan] She's circling around, Chris.

[Chris] Get that camera ready.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Chris] Woo-hoo! Points on the board!

[tense music continues]

[Brendan] That was incredible.

[Chris] But we are going to need way more than one to make this plan work.

[Brendan] Let's wait it out just a little longer.

[MJ] Oh!

I wish we would have checked the conditions.

You know what? If it's, like, rough, that's kind of when you see the sharks.

[Tom] Further out at sea, Gills Gone Wild are heading

for one of the deepest areas around the island,

hoping to land a high-value shark.

[Aliah] We're going to this spot so that we can try and get the threshers.

They are gonna be, like, probably located off of the slope, probably pretty deep.

So we're gonna start with our deepest dives first,

and then work our way to a shallower dive profile.

[camera clicks]

We met about five years ago. We did a…

[both] …bikini beach cleanup.

[laughter]

[Aliah] And from that moment forward, I just knew.

I was like, "Oh, yeah. We're gonna be best friends."

I am an avid spearfisher, and I have been a shark diver for the past five years.

I'm a marine biologist. My area of expertise is stingrays.

Rays are a type of shark.

We have the energy. We have the passion. We are very driven and competitive girls.

-Absolutely. -So, this is what makes us a good team.

And I couldn't be happier to do this with anybody else.

Girl, stop it.

[tense music playing]

[MJ] Holy smokes, that's deep!

[Aliah] All I can see to the south is blue.

Perfect habitat for mantas and threshers.

[MJ] It is, but this current's ripping us out of here.

I hope we get the chance to see one.

[Aliah] Let's see if we can get below this current.

[tense music continues]

By putting themselves out here, on the edge of the reef,

closest to the open ocean,

they've got the best chance of finding some pelagic thresher sharks.

That's big money.

The problem here is that with this depth,

they're gonna be burning through their air.

Every breath at 100 feet uses four times as much air

as it would at the surface.

So a dive like this, it's high risk, but it could be high reward.

[Aliah] Man, this current is ripping.

[MJ] Wow, these coral heads are full of fish.

And where there's fish, there's sharks.

Aliah, look, look. Down below.

[tense music continues]

Whitetip, down deep!

[Aliah] It's only one point, but let's go after it.

[MJ] Wait. Where did it go?

[Aliah] I'm gonna check all the crevices. That's where whitetips like to hide.

[tense music continues]

Another one down below.

[dramatic sting]

That's our whitetip!

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

[MJ] One point is better than no point.

[Aliah] Whitetips are often in groups, so let's go look for more.

[MJ] There's just no escaping this current.

Aliah, I'm running low on air.

Let's just go a little bit further, and then let's go up.

[Aliah] There's got to be one.

[tense music intensifies]

Here we go!

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

[MJ] Aliah, there's another shark below you.

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

[MJ] Okay, that's three.

Let's get out of here if we want to dive again.

[music subsides]

We chose a challenging dive site

with the hopes of being able to see

some crazy sharks, like the thresher sharks.

Unfortunately, no. Uh, we did see three whitetip reef sharks--

We saw three whitetip reef sharks! We took a gamble,

and it paid off by three points.

So let's go get to calmer water.

[Aliah laughs]

-[clock ticking] -[tense music playing]

If we can get threshers on day one, that puts us in a pretty good place

because we know we can get tiger sharks.

On the very edge, if we skim the edge of where the reef finishes

and it's shallow, and then it goes to that drop-off,

we've… hopefully got the best of both worlds.

-[Dan] Yeah. -Hopefully.

[Tom] The Great British Bait Off are the last team to get in the water.

They have chosen the furthest area of the island,

a risky strategy.

And it has cost them valuable time.

[Sarah] I'm an environmental journalist.

I've worked with my fair share of sharks in my career. I was even bitten once.

Getting into the water was a little tough after that.

I've now been working as an underwater cameraman with sharks

for around ten years.

Technically speaking, we should be quite good at this.

Yeah, we have to win this. [laughs]

[tense music playing]

[Sarah] Keep the camera ready. This looks like a good spot.

[Dan] Yep, I'm on it.

[Sarah] Shark! Dan! Dan! Whitetip down there! See it?

[tense music playing]

[Dan] Sorry, no, I wasn't quite geared up yet.

[Sarah] Well, hopefully, that's the first of many, then.

[Tom] While the Great British Bait Off may not be off to the strongest start,

with three more tiger sharks in the bag,

the Shark Docs' strategy of racking up easy points

is just starting to pay off.

But they'll need a lot more than that to hold on to the lead.

[Brendan] Where are all these tiger sharks?

[tense music playing]

[Chris] What's that coming up the cliff?

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Chris] Two more incoming!

[tense music continues]

And now we're cooking!

[Brendan] I'd hate to end this dive, but something's off.

My head is killing me.

[Chris] Hey, your life is not worth a couple more points. Let's head up.

[Brendan] These tigers are all over the place. Let's take it slow.

[Tom] At 30 feet underwater, the pressure is double what it is on land,

squeezing the air in the ears, sinuses, and mask.

If that pressure isn't relieved,

it can cause pain, serious damage, and even blackouts.

[contemplative music playing]

[man] Obviously, with any diving-related incident,

we've got to look at worst- and best-case scenarios.

We've given him a thorough assessment,

but it's certainly erring on the side of caution.

Brendan was having some trouble. I think it was some squeeze.

We can't afford to take any chances,

even if that means missing out on a few points.

Brendan just can't dive any more today.

[Tom] The Land Sharks are staking out a cleaning station,

hoping to spot rare, high-value sharks.

But so far, that strategy has only earned them one point,

and the clock is ticking.

[Randy] Do you ever get the feeling you're being watched?

[Rosie] I mean, sometimes. Why?

[tense sting]

[Randy] That's why!

Tiger shark.

[Rosie] Wonder how long that's been checking us out.

[Randy] Let's snap a pic and get back to the boat. Our air is getting low.

[tense music playing]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Rosie] It's not a thresher, but it's still three points.

[Randy] Now it looks like she's circling the boat.

We're good. Just stay calm.

[Rosie] Okay, there she goes.

[tense music continues]

[music subsides]

[tense music resumes]

[Rosie] Especially in tense situations where you're, like, surrounded by sharks,

Randy is just, like, this calm, cool cucumber.

He's a really good dive partner.

It's nice to have somebody that's just very confident underwater with you.

-[Randy grunts] -Welcome back.

-Yeah. That was a good one. -We did it!

[tense music continues]

[Tom] At the furthest dive site, on the hunt for the elusive thresher,

British Bait Off spotted a whitetip,

but missed the shot.

No photo, no points.

[Dan] Let's head back slowly,

and we'll see if there's anything else coming up the reef.

[Sarah] Another whitetip!

[tense music intensifying]

[camera clicks]

[Dan] Are you kidding?

[Sarah] Did you get it?

[Dan] It was a little too far. It got away, unfortunately.

[Sarah] Are you serious?

Oh God.

You saw a shark, but you didn't take a photo of it?

-I tried. -[Sarah] I'd say that did not go to plan.

[Tom] Dan, Sarah, how did you get on?

-I saw a small whitetip reef. -And did you, uh, snap it?

Sore subject.

Oh!

What's the next move, then, guys?

Maybe go a bit deeper and have--

I don't… I don't think…

We need to regroup.

I'm getting… I'm getting the opposite vibes.

Oh, hello.

[Sarah] I… I'm thinking shallow.

[sucks air through teeth]

We've got mixed feelings here.

We've got Dan wanting to go deep and wanting to go offshore.

We've got Sarah wanting to stay shallow, stay close.

So, already, first dive, they're already at each other.

This is it, guys. This is your three-hour warning.

Let's get prepping your final dives.

At this point, three teams have taken big risks chasing threshers,

while the Docs' strategy, racking up lower-value tiger sharks,

has been paying off.

With Brendan sidelined for the day

to avoid permanent sinus damage,

it all comes down to Chris.

One diver, one shark-filled bay,

no backup.

This is his moment to step up or get swallowed by the competition.

[Chris] Here you go!

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[dramatic music playing]

So, we know where we can go to get sharks straightaway.

No, we've got to get a shark on camera before we go back.

-We cannot go back tonight empty-handed. -[Dan] Absolutely.

-[Aliah] Can I see the scorecards again? -[MJ] Yeah.

So, let's go and aim for a more covered and secluded site

that's a little bit sheltered from the wind.

[Randy] There's a bait ball over there. A bait ball is a big aggregation of fish.

And normally, big school, whether it be anchovies, sardines,

whatever you may have it,

they all come collect it.

All predators are coming from all angles.

Birds from above, sharks and other things from below.

So we gotta get there and see what we can find.

Hopefully some good sharks.

[Tom] All the teams are shifting gears,

heading for calmer, shallower dives

to bank some points and close the gap.

[dramatic music playing]

[Sarah] Dan, tiger shark.

[Dan] I see her. She's coming right towards us.

[Sarah] Don't miss this one.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Dan] That photo won't win any awards, but we've got points.

[Sarah] Great, let's go. Time is running out.

[Aliah] Another whitetip.

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

[MJ] Nice one!

[Aliah] Scratch that. Make it two. Another one!

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

[Randy] Tiger shark ahead.

[Rosie] No surprise out here, but I'll take it.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Chris] Okay, that was the last one. I'm coming up.

[dramatic music swells]

[contemplative music playing]

-Yeah, man. I missed you down there. -I missed you up here.

[both laugh]

-You feeling okay? -I feel much better. Yeah.

-Good, good. -Yeah, yeah.

How you start is important, but it's also important how you finish.

[clock ticking]

[distant birds squawk]

[Tom] As day one wraps up,

after a tough start for all four teams,

the Shark Docs, despite being down a teammate,

have seen their strategy of targeting easy points pay off,

putting them in the lead.

But everything is about to shift because a game changer is coming.

Here we have damn near 200-pound yellowfin tuna,

and this is gonna make the most incredible bait

for literally any of the shark species found around Fuvahmulah.

[dramatic music playing]

[Tom over radio] Before you guys head out, there's something I wanna tell you.

I've got a game changer for you.

So, the first team that manages to find and photograph a sea turtle

will win a very, very special prize.

I don't wanna bait you into it, but it is a tasty treat…

-We should go shallow. -…for any large feeder.

So, you ready?

Go and smash it out.

[Sarah] We're falling really far behind now.

We need any advantage that we can get.

-[Aliah] We're gonna manifest turtles. -Turtles.

[both] ♪ Turtles, turtles, turtles, turtles ♪

[Aliah] Let's go, let's go, let's go!

I feel like the wall in that first shelf is where we're gonna find them.

-Let's do it. -Hell yeah.

The sea turtles come to the surface to breathe.

If we can get a picture from on the boat, it saves us time to get back in and dive,

and it could also be the quickest to the radio.

So, tactics are going on here. Lots to play for.

[tense music playing]

I'm feeling better today and hoping I can get that turtle

and make up for tapping out yesterday.

[tense music swells]

[music subsides]

-[Rosie] All right, Randy, you ready? -[Randy] Yeah, let's do it!

[contemplative music playing]

[Rosie] I actually free dive a lot,

so I can hold my breath for over five and a half minutes

and have gone as deep as 150 feet without air.

So I'm hoping that can help us out here.

[Tom] All four teams are now in the water.

The first one to spot and photograph a sea turtle wins a prize

that could turn the tide for their day, and perhaps the competition.

[contemplative music continues]

Adept at free diving, Rosie has descended to 48 feet.

[camera clicks]

[tense music playing]

[Randy] Radio, radio, radio.

Come on, come on, come on!

[Rosie] Camera.

I will never…

-[man] Where are you pointing? -Come here.

[man] We got a picture.

-We're double-checking. -[Rosie] Right there.

-[Randy] It's the middle one? -[Rosie] Right there.

[man] Yep, yep. Confirmed.

It's confirmed. Land Sharks have a turtle.

[Rosie] Whoo! We did it!

[triumphant music playing]

[music fades]

[Tom] This'll change their tuna.

Let's do it, guys. Let's get it on the boat.

[dramatic music playing]

[Tom] It's time to deliver the Land Sharks their prize.

-Somebody order sushi? -[Randy] Nice. Bring it on in.

[Rosie] Let's see it.

-[Randy] Whoa! -[Rosie] Oh my God!

This is 200 pounds of top-of-the-table, high-score, maxing-it-out game changer.

[Randy] We got a Rosie-sized tuna, everybody!

[both laugh]

-[Rosie] This thing is massive. -[Randy] Appreciate ya!

Hey, you earned it, mate.

If these guys use this right,

they're gonna knock everyone else out of the park.

[Rosie laughs] The tigers are gonna go nuts for this.

[Randy] Oh man.

[Rosie] I think this tuna changes everything.

[Tom] The Land Sharks are playing their game changer in Tiger Harbour,

where they are almost guaranteed to stir up a frenzy

of hungry, pregnant tiger sharks.

But with the clock ticking,

it's going to take big numbers for them to pull ahead.

[Rosie] I think the best chance right now is for us to drop the tail in.

[Randy] Yeah.

[Rosie] Let it hang, let these juices get going down there.

[tense music playing]

Tuna is in.

[Randy] All right. Now we wait.

[tense music swells, then fades]

[dramatic music playing]

Less talking, more diving.

-Brendan style. That's all he ever wants. -Let's get outta here.

If Brendan had his way, he would never talk and just do things.

[Tom] Nearby, Brendan is clear to dive,

but medics will be watching closely for any signs of trouble.

So we're at the tiger spot again today, just like we were yesterday,

trying to cash in on some points with tiger sharks at a known site.

[Brendan] At the end of the day, we have the same playing field as the other teams.

So what are you gonna do, keep looking for pelagic threshers

or max out on tiger sharks, you know?

[gentle, mysterious music playing]

[Brendan] Let's do what worked last time and work the edge of that drop-off.

[Chris] Already have one. Oh, it's a tiger shark. Going after it.

[tense music playing]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Chris] Got it! Yes! Let's keep 'em coming.

[Brendan] Here we go. Another one coming up from the deep.

[Chris] Yeah, I see it far off. I'm gonna have to swim after it.

[tense music continues]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Chris] I think I got it.

[Brendan] Looks like there's more coming from those sand flats.

[Chris] Now we're talking! Tiger Harbour paying off once again.

[Brendan] Yeah, let's keep it up, Chris.

[Tom] With the point gap widening,

Gills Gone Wild are thinking outside the box,

with a move no one else is trying.

[Aliah] We're looking for oceanic manta rays today.

Probably not the easiest dive site again,

but I think that having this specialty in ray science

is really gonna help me out a lot in this contest

because I don't think a lot of other teams are really looking for rays.

Flat sharks are sharks too. Remember that.

[Tom] Rays are flat sharks,

because just like sharks,

they have cartilaginous skeletons,

gill slits, and electroreceptors to detect prey.

The difference?

Instead of slicing through the open water,

they flatten out, built to glide along the ocean floor.

[contemplative music playing]

[MJ] There is life in every direction here.

I'll keep an eye on the reef, you keep an eye below.

[dramatic music playing]

[Aliah] Oh my God! Oceanic manta!

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Aliah] We got it!

[dramatic music rises]

[Aliah] Whoo! [laughs]

[MJ] Holy sharks!

-[Aliah] Holy manta ray. -[MJ] What?!

[Aliah] Oh my God.

Wow. What a dive.

Big reveal.

Wait, what is it?

[MJ] Okay, ready?

[Alicia] Yeah.

[MJ] Forty.

-Forty! We're back in it, baby! -All right.

[Rosie] I might try splashing the surface a bit, too,

just so they know there's something happening here.

[Tom] Randy and Rosie have been biding their time on the boat,

hoping the tuna will lure in a mob of tiger sharks before they dive.

-She looks like she's looking for it. -[Randy] Pull, pull, pull, pull, pull!

[Rosie] Oh! Come on, girl!

[Randy] Oh my God.

[Rosie] Oh, there she comes again! See her?

[tense music playing]

[dramatic sting]

Sharks can get aggressive around food, so we have to monitor them

so it doesn't get too dangerous.

Let's do this! Tiger sharks, baby!

[Tom] After whipping the tiger sharks into a feeding frenzy,

Randy and Rosie are diving into the chaos.

[Rosie] All right, let's try to keep them in front of us.

[Randy] I'm steering clear of that tuna slick!

[Tom] Surrounded and outnumbered,

they must monitor the sharks carefully to stay out of danger.

[Rosie] Watch out for that smaller one 'cause she seems fired up.

[Randy] Yeah, check her fins. She has them flexed.

[Tom] When multiple sharks close in on a single food source,

competition kicks in, and so does aggression.

Flexed pectoral fins and erratic movements

are key warning signs that a shark is preparing for a fight.

[Randy] Let's hunker behind this rock

and get some points before it gets too crazy down here.

[dramatic music playing]

[dramatic music intensifies]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[tense music playing]

[Randy] Wait. More incoming!

[tense music continues]

[Rosie] Does a pregnant shark count as two?

[Randy] She may have over 30 in there.

[Rosie] I'm counting three more!

[tense music intensifies]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Randy] This dive totally changes our standings.

[tense music continues]

[music subsides]

[Tom] Sitting in last place and still chasing a thresher,

British Bait Off is heading for a deep dive

on the outskirts of the island.

And at this stage, they'll need more than just skill.

They'll need a lot of luck to turn this around.

[tense music playing]

[Sarah] Silvertip! That's decent points, Dan.

[Tom] Rarely seen by divers here,

silvertip sharks, known for their stealthy hunting tactics,

often approach prey silently from below for an ambush attack.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Dan] I think I got it.

[Sarah] Another one, a bit deeper!

[tense music continues]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Dan] Yes! That's what I'm talking about. Finally!

Okay, let's start to head back, and we'll do our safety stop.

[Tom] A safety stop is a pause below the surface

that helps release nitrogen gas from the blood,

reducing the risk of decompression sickness,

or as it's known, the bends.

[dramatic music playing]

[Dan] Sarah, look around.

We are surrounded by tigers.

[Sarah] Sounds like points.

[dramatic music continues]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[dramatic music swells]

-[music subsides] -[water sloshing]

That was the most exciting safety stop I've ever done in my life.

[Sarah exclaims]

Thresher?

-What?! -[Sarah] Get your camera!

Get your camera out! Quick, quick!

[Tom] Worth 75 points,

if Dan can capture a single photo of the thresher,

this would completely change their game.

[Sarah] What the heck? Go, Dan! It's just jumped again. It's still going.

[tense music playing]

I think I got a photo of a splash.

It's a really good splash photo though. Really good splash photo.

[tense music continues]

Teams, this is your final hour in the Maldives.

Make it count!

-They're down there. -So yeah, let's go, let's go, let's go!

[clock ticking]

[Chris] Hey, whitetip!

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

[MJ] Tiger shark incoming!

[Rosie] Blacktip!

[Tom] The Great British Bait Off are coming back into the port.

[contemplative music playing]

As the sun sets on the final day, time is up.

The teams will have to wait until morning to discover who triumphed

at finding all the sharks in Fuvahmulah.

[music swells, then fades]

[wind blowing]

[tense music playing]

[Tom] Welcome back to dry land.

You've had an incredible couple of days.

Together, you have recorded six different species of shark,

including silvertips, whitetip reef, blacktip reef…

What?

…tiger shark, and even an oceanic manta.

-Damn! -[Chris] Did you really?

[Tom] Well done!

Before we go any further,

every location is gonna have a prize for the team that comes first.

The winners today will receive

a Shearwater

-Research Perdix 2 dive computer… -Ooh!

-…worth over 2,300 US dollars. -Oh my God.

Look at that there.

Brother, if you get that…

-[Tom] It's a nice piece of kit. -Oh my gosh.

Beautiful.

Nice thing about that is I get to give it out,

but I didn't actually pay for it.

-[laughter] -[Tom] It's great.

So, we've had a look at your photographs,

tabulated your scores.

In fourth place is…

[suspenseful music building]

…the Land Sharks.

[Randy] We just fell short, which isn't the happiest of feelings.

I'm not used to losing.

And we're competitors, so I don't really stand for that.

The team in third place is…

[suspenseful music playing]

…Great British Bait Off.

-Oh! -I'm happy with that, to be fair.

Okay, we're in third. Pleasantly surprised.

-Yeah. -We definitely thought we were last.

[Tom] So, the final two.

In second place…

[suspenseful music playing]

…is…

[suspenseful music intensifies]

…Gills Gone Wild!

-Oh! All right, I'll take it. Good job. -[applause]

[MJ] We thought we were gonna maybe beat the guys,

but gotta know we're coming for them, so…

So that leaves us, then, with our winners,

the Shark Docs!

-Yeah, baby! -[whooping]

[cheering]

[Dan] Good job.

I didn't think we had it, to be honest, but we're happy to win.

[Chris] I'm walking away from this feeling pretty good.

[Brendan] We went for the high volume, lower-value sharks, and played it smart.

And that paid off for us.

But look, there's still so much to play for.

Ladies and gentlemen, pack your bags.

We're going to Australia.

[cheering]

No, I meant it. Pack your bags. We have, like…

The plane goes in, like, ten minutes. Come on, quick.

[dramatic music playing]

[Tom] This season…

[Chris] We're in a rip current. Gotta swim through.

Vortex rip. Vortex rip.

[Tom] Six locations…

[Aliah] Something massive coming in.

[dramatic music continues]

[MJ] This is, like, my great white shark nightmare.

[Tom] Five continents…

[Dan] Sarah, come on. Come on.

[Sarah] Oh shoot! This is not good.

[Tom] Four teams…

[MJ] Sad, but someone has to go home this time.

[Brendan and Chris] I'm not ready to go home.

[Tom] All the sharks.

[Chris] This is absolutely blowing my mind.

I've never seen this many sharks.
