[Tom] Last time on All the Sharks,

the competition kicked off in the sharky waters of the Maldives.

[MJ] Holy smokes, that's deep.

[Tom] And the island known for its tiger sharks

did not disappoint.

-[dramatic music playing] -[Brendan] That was incredible.

[Tom] Now the teams travel to Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

I feel it could be just nice to change it up.

[Tom] A new battleground with new challenges.

[Aliah] Dang, thought that was a ray. Just a turtle.

[Tom] Because to win this competition,

you can't just find some sharks.

-[cameras clicking] -[Tom] You have to find All the Sharks.

[music fades]

[tense music playing]

Teams, welcome to Heron Island

in Eastern Australia.

Perched at the southern tip

of one of the most legendary marine ecosystems on the planet,

the Great Barrier Reef.

[Aliah] So I have been to Heron Island before,

and I actually do have some close colleagues

that are doing research here,

so I'm really hoping that's gonna give us an advantage.

[Tom] As always, your goal is to capture as many sharks as possible

through the lens of a camera.

The rarer the shark, the more points you get.

But things are about to get a little more interesting.

We're here in the Australian winter,

which means shorter days and less time underwater,

so you'll only have four hours to dive during daylight.

However, tonight you will all have a rare opportunity

to search these waters under the cover of darkness,

looking for species that are a little tricky to find during the day.

Some incredible sharks could come out, but it's also Australia.

That means the water is packed with creatures

that can seriously mess you up.

[Tom] It's eight hours. Your time starts…

[intense music swells]

…now!

-[group cheering] -[Tom] Kit up, head out! Go on!

Make the most of it!

[tense, fast-paced music playing]

[Tom] You left your shoes behind!

[dramatic music]

[Tom] Here on Heron Island, extreme tides set the stage for this challenge.

When the water rushes in, it floods the shallow reef flats.

But when it goes out, it can leave huge areas high and dry.

These drastic tides stir up bait fish and nutrients,

turning the waters into a hotspot for sharks.

Heron Island is home to over 50 shark species,

including many reef sharks and rays.

But hidden in these waters is a bigger prize.

The elusive wobbegong shark.

A master of camouflage,

its fringed, patterned skin

helps it blend in perfectly with the ocean floor.

It lies motionless during the day, ambushing prey when they least expect it.

Every time we do another dive, it feels like there's a bit more pressure on.

Yeah.

Every time we don't see something, there's even more pressure.

-Yeah. -And then now it's a new site.

And I'm like, "Oh God."

-"Here we go again." -Yeah.

[Sarah laughs]

[tense music playing]

[Sarah] We really have to do well here.

If we come in last now, we might never catch up.

[Tom] British Bait Off are taking advantage of the high tide,

heading out to the deep side of the reef while the conditions are in their favor.

[Dan] Well, the tide is in now till this afternoon,

so we know that mantas and things will come through.

Yeah.

[tense music continues]

[mysterious music playing]

[Dan] All right. Let's just drift with the current

and see where it takes us.

[Sarah] This water's getting a bit nippy.

[Dan] It does feel a bit like we're back in the UK.

[Sarah] Visibility is about the same too.

[Dan] But it might get even worse when the tide changes.

[Sarah] All right, if you keep eyes out for mantas coming in,

I'll root around under the reef and see what I can see.

[tense music playing]

[Sarah] Dan! Dan! Ray! Over there on the flats!

Is it a manta?

Can't tell.

[dramatic music playing]

[music swells]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Dan] Uh, nope, I think that's a spotted eagle ray.

I got the photo though.

[Sarah] Nice work. Every little helps.

[Tom] The spotted eagle ray is more than just a graceful swimmer.

It's actually a flat shark built for speed and power.

With bold spots and a massive wingspan,

it soars through the water like a bird.

But don't get too close.

Its venomous tail spines

make it just as dangerous as it is stunning.

[Dan] Some big coral heads coming up here. Let's keep drifting.

[rhythmic music playing]

[MJ] I'm so excited.

I'm finally diving the Great Barrier Reef with you.

-So this is… -[Aliah] Yeah!

[MJ] This is incredible.

I'm incredibly excited to be here. This is my second time back.

For that reason, I think that I do hold

a pretty special advantage in this competition.

[Tom] Counting on Aliah's inside intel,

Gills Gone Wild are crossing the channel,

venturing off the beaten path

in search of a shark jackpot

to give them an early lead.

[MJ] I think we're gonna win this one.

[Aliah] I really do. I feel really good about this.

You are the expert.

I think everybody knows that we have the advantage here,

so they're gonna be trying twice as hard.

-I know. -We need to keep throwing them off.

Let's start deep on the sandy bottom, 17 meters.

That's, like, 60 feet.

Let's start on the sand, look for some rays,

um, and then just work our way up the slope,

and then spend probably most of our time in, like, pretty shallow water.

-So, let's start with the deep? -[Aliah] Yeah.

-[MJ] I'm down. -[tense music swells]

[mysterious music plays]

[Aliah] This is the spot.

Watch the sandy edges. That's where we'll find the rays.

[MJ] I'll make sure to check the slopes for any sleeping whitetips

and maybe some wobbegong.

[Aliah] Look for any type of shape that could catch your attention.

They can be hard to spot.

[mysterious music continues]

[water burbling]

[MJ] Anybody home?

Nope.

[Aliah] Oh, MJ, here!

Dang, thought that was a ray. It was just a turtle.

[MJ] She's so cute though.

But are you sure this is the right spot?

[Aliah] Maybe we screwed up the timing of the tides.

Sharks and rays might've moved.

Let's head up.

Yeah, so this location didn't really work out,

and I'm not really sure why.

It could be tides, could be season,

or honestly, it could just be general bad luck.

But I'm pretty bummed.

Unfortunately, we didn't see any sharks or rays.

This is not cutting it for me.

I feel like it could be just nice to change it up.

-[MJ] Yeah. -Okay.

Let's grab the map and think about where we want to go next.

I'm pretty annoyed with myself for wasting all that time.

I'm thinking it's probably about time we shift gears.

We could use the boat to go snorkel.

[MJ] No, let's… let's just maximize the dives.

So, like, I think being in shallower water right now,

where we know there's absolutely stuff,

at least we can get a few points just being there.

Yeah, this is not great for this right now.

Like, I just feel like we're not getting anything scuba diving.

The conditions aren't, like, benefiting us.

But we know for a fact how, like, lively it is over there.

We can definitely be getting points.

-[MJ] Let's go. -[Aliah] Okay.

[tense music playing]

[Brendan] What do you think our plan should be?

I think it's gonna be big. If we want to find bamboo sharks and wobbegongs,

we need to be looking in the ledges.

Yeah. If we find a 30-foot-deep ledge, something like that, let's just cruise.

[Tom] Nearby, unaware that Gills Gone Wild have come up empty,

the Shark Docs have followed them across the channel

hoping to leverage Aliah's island knowledge against her

and lock in their lead.

[tense music continues]

[Brendan] Man, the vis sucks, Chris. It's really murky down here.

[eerie music playing]

[Chris] It must be slack tide. There is zero current.

Definitely a lot of movement up ahead.

[eerie music continues]

[Brendan] What is that? I can't even see it on camera.

[Chris] Moving in closer. Come on. Let's go see what it is.

[Brendan] Man, it's spooky down here, Chris.

Let's take it slow through this channel. Must be in here somewhere.

[Chris] Movement up ahead! Camera ready!

[Brendan] There's something in the coral.

[eerie music continues]

[eerie sting]

[Chris] Oh man. Hey, buddy.

[Brendan] It's a loggerhead. It's enormous.

[gentle, magical music playing]

[Chris] Well, it doesn't help our scorecard, but this guy is a legend.

[Brendan] Let's keep searching.

Low tide will be here in no time, and then we've gotta bounce.

[Tom] Slack tide has arrived,

the calm period between high tide and low tide.

With no current to stir up baitfish and nutrients,

sharks tend to be less active, making them harder to find.

But British Bait Off has already had more luck than the other teams.

Fresh off of an eagle ray sighting,

they're still on the hunt,

determined to find more and stay out of last place.

[Sarah] Dan! Shark! Shark! Is that a whitetip?

[tense music playing]

[Dan] Too big for a whitetip.

[music swells]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Dan] I think that that's a blacktip.

[Tom] Blacktip sharks are fast, agile predators

common in tropical reefs like this,

where they can be found feeding on small fish and crustaceans.

Their speed and sharp reflexes

make them one of the most dynamic hunters on the reef.

[dramatic music playing]

[Dan] Our luck might be improving.

[Sarah] Yep, but the visibility isn't.

[Dan] Also, it's getting a bit cold.

I don't think we're gonna see any mantas out here now.

[dramatic music swells]

[Sarah] Well, that went better than expected.

Except it looks now like the tide is going out,

and that would just be us, wouldn't it?

We do really well, and then we get stranded on the boat.

So, uh, yeah. Best not tempt fate.

[Dan] This is the most British thing ever,

coming out from a dive…

[laughing] …and we've both been given a cup of tea.

[clock ticks rapidly]

[tense music playing]

[Randy] That border line up there looks like one of the spots

that has that shallow ledge, so we can kind of get in and out.

You can see where the ledge cuts off. It gets so blue.

That lighter blue is that shallower, uh, reef.

[Tom] Furthest out are the Land Sharks,

who have spent precious time reaching the reef's edge,

hoping to get the best of both worlds,

deep water and shallow reef.

But with the tide close to turning, they're pressing their luck.

In and out. Operation in and out.

[dramatic music playing]

[Randy] Let's check the deeper parts of the ledge.

I bet that's where the wobbegongs are.

[mysterious music playing]

[Rosie] Man, the slack tide is really cramping our style right now.

[tense music playing]

[Randy] At least every team has got to be dealing with poor vis,

but I got scuba certified in a lake, so poor vis don't bother me.

[Rosie] Dude, these bommies,

exactly what we were hoping to find on this dive.

[Randy] Lots of hiding places for wobbegongs.

[Tom] The word bommie originates

from the Australian Aboriginal word bomberas,

meaning mountain.

These ancient pinnacles of coral act like high-rise buildings

teeming with underwater life,

and they're irresistible magnets for sharks.

[tense, mysterious music playing]

[Rosie] Frustrating.

I feel like we're so close, but I see no sharks.

[Randy] The tide should be changing here any second.

I think we have to take the risk and push it a little further.

[Rosie] Just remember that if we get stuck here at low tide,

we're stuck for hours.

[clock ticks rapidly]

[Chris] Looks to be more coral reef structure south.

Let's keep heading that way.

Current is also starting to switch. Not much time left for us.

[Tom] After coming up empty so far,

the Shark Docs are squeezing every last second of slack tide

before the waters start to turn,

knowing that their window for clear conditions and a safe return

is about to close.

[tense, mysterious music continues]

[Brendan] Oh, check out this huge shelf. Help me look under here.

[Chris] Whoa! A shiver of whitetips underneath!

[music swells]

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

[Brendan] There are so many.

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Chris] Low-point shark, but lots of them.

[tense music intensifies]

[Brendan] Chris, you might wanna come check this out.

[magical music playing]

[Chris] Why are you taking pictures of the sand?

[Brendan] Dude, look closely.

[Chris] No freaking way.

[Brendan] It's a tasselled wobbe. It's a wobbegong.

[music swells]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[tense music playing]

[Brendan] That shark is so well camouflaged,

you know it's worth a lot of points.

[Chris] Yeah, buddy! Mission success! Wobbegong dive accomplished.

[Brendan] Vis is getting better as the tide goes out.

That helped me see him.

[Chris] Let's not spoil this win by getting stuck out at sea.

[dramatic music playing]

[Tom] And the conditions are starting to worsen.

We've got divers in the water, and they're not just racing against the clock

to get back to the docks,

but they are racing against the tide as well.

But that doesn't mean that there won't be any sharks available.

In fact, there's some really high-scoring sharks

within the reef lagoon area.

They're just not easy to find.

[eerie music playing]

[Randy] I feel the tide moving, clearing up just a little.

Keep pushing, Rosie!

[Rosie] Let's see if this also changes the shark activity.

[Tom] The Land Sharks are determined to claw their way out of last place.

But with the tide starting to go out,

they're still empty handed and running out of time.

If they don't make it to the surface before the water drops,

their boat could get stuck, and they'll be stranded.

[Rosie] Randy, heads up.

[tense music playing]

[Randy] Blacktip from out of nowhere!

[music swells]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[clock ticking rapidly]

[Rosie] I think this is gonna pay off. Finally!

[tense music continues]

[Randy] Rosie, I see a tail sticking out!

[dramatic music playing]

[music swells]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Randy] Nurse shark! Big points!

[Tom] The tawny nurse shark is a rare find.

A master of disguise

that changes color to blend seamlessly with its surroundings.

Lying motionless by day,

it vanishes into the ocean floor, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

[tense music playing]

[Randy] Whoa! Absolute beast of a cowtail ray.

He probably weighs more than I do.

[music swells]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Randy] My bad, dog! Didn't mean to disturb you.

[dramatic music playing]

[Rosie] New tide, new sharks. Here we go!

[Randy] Bluespotted ribbon ray!

Whoa! Look at those colors!

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Rosie] A landmine with a neon warning sign.

Let's just not corner it for too long.

[dramatic music continues]

[Randy] Whitetip!

[music swells]

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

[Randy] Got him.

[dramatic music continues]

I wanna stay in this spot forever.

[Rosie] I think we've pushed our luck long enough.

One more and then let's call it.

[music swells]

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

[Randy] Okay, that's it. Let's go.

[music swells]

[Randy] We cut it close, but it was totally worth it.

We pushed the limit, but I'm proud of us.

We got determination, and we're not gonna quit.

[rhythmic music playing]

-[man] How was it, doll? -We got sharks, we got rays.

[Randy] That's tight. That's what's up.

-[Rosie] Round of applause. -[Randy] That's what's up.

That was sick.

[Tom] Meanwhile, closer to shore, after a rough morning coming up empty,

Gills Gone Wild switch gears,

hoping that snorkeling in the shallows would finally get them on the board.

I just wanted to get some points to make up for this morning.

That was totally my fault.

[dramatic music swells, then fades]

Yew!

We got an eagle ray!

-Better than no points. -Take it. [laughs]

And this is not even over yet.

Okay, we're all set and ready to go back to the… the harbor.

[MJ] We cannot mess around tonight.

We really have to make up for this morning if we want to take the lead.

[Tom] They'll need to find a lot of sharks to catch up to the Shark Docs

who have taken an early lead with the Land Sharks close behind.

But as they head into the plentiful shallows

of the Great Barrier Reef,

this competition is far from over.

It's anybody's game.

[dramatic music swells, then fades]

[Tom] With nightfall fast approaching,

the teams now have four hours at peak low tide

to find as many sharks as they can,

all in complete darkness.

[Randy] The biggest thing is safety because things come out at night.

We could step on stonefish. Cone snails could step on us.

[Tom] These vast sand flats and reefs are home to rare finds,

like walking sharks and shovelnose rays.

But spotting them comes with a risk.

[dramatic music playing]

Lurking in the shallows are deadly masters of disguise,

like the cone snail and stonefish,

both venomous enough to kill you, and they're not the only ones.

-Let's get it done. -[MJ] Yeah.

-Let's go. -[Aliah] Yeehaw.

[Chris] Yeah, 'cause we gotta… There's a shipwreck,

so we're gonna go and try to swim towards that eventually,

um, and just kind of go through the harbor.

This is a major site for a lot of diversity.

So much sand for the rays to sit and bury themselves.

-Exactly. Perfect for rays. -[Sarah] They're getting in the water.

I think they're gonna snorkel.

-They're gonna snorkel from the wreck. -Yeah. There they are.

Just gonna do everything on foot.

They won't see anything.

They're smart, but they won't see anything.

Right.

[mysterious music playing]

We had a very slow day today, so right now is the time to maximize.

The rays are gonna be in these shallower areas

because they're really thin

and they can squeeze into these tight areas

that larger-bodied sharks like a bull shark or a blacktip, for example,

might not be able to physically fit into.

Perks of being a pancake.

[MJ] Says the ray expert.

[Aliah] Flat sharks are sharks too. Remember that.

[MJ] You know, these pancakes, they deserve love too.

[Aliah] Deep pits, like this, that I'm standing in,

are typically, like, stingray feeding pits.

So when they want to get some food, their food is buried in the sand.

They'll flap their pectoral fins and dig a hole,

and then suck up all of those, like, marine invertebrates or crustaceans.

And they create these little, or large, feeding pits

that are almost the exact outline of a stingray,

and that's how you know you're in the right area.

[MJ] I see it over there.

-[dramatic music playing] -Over there.

Do you see it?

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

Oh.

That's an epaulette shark. Look.

That's an epaulette.

Got an epaulette!

-[MJ] Yeah? -[Aliah] Yeah!

-[MJ] Where? -[Aliah] Right here!

[Tom] A true marvel of the shark world,

epaulette sharks use their fins

to move across reefs,

and even dry land, in search of prey.

They're little sharks that kinda look like snakes, and they actually walk.

Um, and so, they're really common to find in, like, low tide areas.

[music swells]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Aliah] We got an epaulette, baby!

Stop it. It's precious.

[Aliah] Wow.

Wow!

Ah, there's two! There's one right here! Brother!

Oh my God. Thank you for coming.

Oh! What?!

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

-[music intensifies] -Gills Gone Wild, our luck is turning.

[music fades]

[tense music playing]

[Sarah] Have you seen this? Quick, quick! Can you get a picture?

[Dan] Epaulette shark.

[Sarah] Dan! Dan! Quick! Quick!

-You can see it walking! -[Dan chuckles]

-Can you get a picture? -I will.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[dramatic music playing]

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

[Chris] A porcupine.

-[Brendan] Yep. Hell yeah. Another one. -[Chris] Yeah.

[tense music playing]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Randy] We just saw a stingray in the shallows, so…

Just gotta be on the lookout, be careful not to stir up too much.

[tense music continues]

I don't wanna leave anything on the table.

I just wanna feel like I, you know, gave it everything I had.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[music swells]

We crushed today. Today's been outstanding.

Quite a few rays. Loads of turtles.

I'm hoping everybody did worse than us, of course.

I'm praying that everyone did exactly how they were supposed to.

Which is worse than us.

-That's a terrible attitude. -[laughs]

-[Aliah] Good job. -[Dan] I think we've had a good day today.

-Yeah. -I feel good about that.

[Tom] After an extremely sharky first day on Heron Island,

Gills Gone Wild have taken the top spot.

But with the rest of the teams close behind,

day two promises to be an all-out brawl.

[tense music playing]

[man] That's the down button.

-[Brendan] Cruise around the edge? -[Chris] Yeah.

Cover more ground over there, get further out towards the crest.

-[Chris] Okay. Yeah. -Let's do it.

Snorkeling was a good idea.

Got to see a lot more, but now I'm freaking freezing.

[Brendan] Yeah. The wind is chilly.

[Tom] The new day has brought brutal conditions.

With 25-knot winds churning up the water and destroying visibility,

diving could be a no-win situation.

We're gonna go around the corner here.

The only thing is the winds are kicking up like crazy,

so the current's ripping, the winds are wild.

I don't know that we'll actually be able to, like, get in and do an actual dive,

but we can scout from the shore and see how we feel.

Yeah, uh, 'cause worst-case scenario,

we'll just go back with the current all the way around.

[dramatic music playing]

Let's go back to the boat and just get out as soon as we can.

From diving here before, I actually know a spot

that's pretty protected from the wind.

So it should be calm and with good visibility.

I think it's worth a shot.

I'm hoping if we dive there, we'll be able to get a leg up

on all the teams that are sticking to the shallows.

[MJ] I'm gonna trust Aliah, but these conditions look really rough.

So, hopefully, her inside knowledge pays off better than it did yesterday.

[dramatic music continues]

[music swells]

[Randy] Oh! Rose! Rose!

[Rosie] What is it?

[Randy] I think it's two bamboo sharks.

-Under the ledge? Can you see them? -Yeah.

See the face?

[Tom] Close relatives of the epaulette,

bamboo sharks also walk on their fins

and can survive out of water for hours.

Stealthy nocturnal hunters, they lurk in the shadows,

striking from cover.

Tough to find, even harder to photograph, and worth 27 points.

[bright music plays]

[Randy] Yo, there's two different tails.

One's going this way, and the other tail is going that way.

[Rosie] I can see a fin poking out in the middle.

[Randy] There might be three, legitimately.

Here.

[Rosie grunts]

[Rosie] Definitely three. Can you see that one from that side?

[Randy] Yeah.

[Rosie] Look at him. You see his gills.

[music swells]

[epic music playing]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

Yeah. That's crazy.

[music fades]

What?

The guys… The Docs are behind us. Don't say much.

[tense music playing]

-[Rosie laughs] -Keep going. Keep it pushing.

Keep it pushing.

-We'll hog this all day if we got to. -Nothing to see here.

[Rosie] Yeah, I'm not moving from sight. We're not letting them have it.

[Rosie laughs]

Randy and I have been crushing it. We're slowly closing that gap.

And if we leave here,

that could be another 75 points on the board for the Shark Docs.

Heck yeah.

That was not on my bingo card for the day.

But we'll wait till those guys pass. They're trying to linger around.

They are. They're lingering.

[Brendan] Secretly, we're waiting for those guys to get cold

so they move off of what's probably an epaulette shark…

-[Chris laughs] -…right on that little coral head.

It's not our proudest moment, but, you know.

-I want them to pass on through, because-- -I know. We don't want to leave the site.

Well, the Land Sharks can't sit there forever, so… [laughs]

Just wait for them to go around the corner, then we can leave the site.

I don't think they'll be able to find it.

-Hoo. -[clock ticks rapidly]

[dramatic music playing]

[MJ] It's high tide, so we might get lucky with some rays.

Those guys are nocturnal, so they'll be resting during the day.

-I'm down. -So why not try our luck?

[Tom] Offshore, Gills Gone Wild are taking a big risk.

Following Aliah's lead

despite the high winds and rough seas,

she's betting on a calm, sheltered spot,

hoping her knowledge of the island will finally pay off.

[music swells]

[Aliah] We can win and beat the Shark Docs.

We just need to get a few more points.

And I'm feeling the ray vibes. I'm feeling 'em.

[dramatic music continues]

[mysterious music playing]

[Aliah] This is the spot. See how calm it is underwater?

When it's super rough out, the island protects the sand flats here.

So keep your eyes out.

The rays can stack up in huge numbers here.

[mysterious music continues]

[MJ] Is that a rock or a ray?

[music swells]

[Aliah] A cowtail ray!

[tense music playing]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Aliah] Got it!

[MJ] Finally!

[Aliah] And there's rarely just one.

[MJ] Aliah, turn around.

[dramatic music swells]

Here he comes.

[Aliah] Camera ready.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[tense music playing]

[Aliah] Another one hiding in the sand.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[MJ] Another one to your right!

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[tense music continues]

[Aliah] Nice one!

[music swells]

[MJ] Let's keep going.

[dramatic music playing]

[Aliah] Two more!

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[MJ] You brought us to ray heaven.

[Aliah] Okay, time to head up.

[dramatic music continues]

[music fades]

[Aliah] We got all the rays.

[MJ] I don't know where we are in the competition, but--

There's literally nothing we could have done better though.

-Yeah. We gave it all. -Like, we gave it 100%.

And I think that it did pay off.

But, of course, I also share that… that fear

that other people also gave it 100% and did really well.

Good for them, but I hope we did better.

-We're back. We're back in the game, baby! -We're back, baby!

-Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm! -Unh, unh.

[Aliah laughs]

[Tom] With the clock running down,

Gills Gone Wild are heading back to dry land,

while the remaining teams make their final push.

What if I stand up there and spot,

and then you are here with your camera

ready to jump in and get it from under the water?

[Dan] Yeah. That's a good plan.

I'll get a tan. You get the shot. We get the points.

[Dan] The channel to get to the island is there, so it makes sense.

And you're just so prepared for it, and you swim so fast.

And you're just so good with that camera--

This is the most compliments you've given me in about five years.

[laughs]

All right, you go and enjoy your sunshine.

[Tom] With visibility limited,

Great British Bait Off is getting strategic.

[dramatic music playing]

Oh! Oh! Something's coming. This way! This way! This way! This way!

Here! Here! Here! Here! Here!

[dramatic music continues]

Just here! Dan! Dan! You get it?

-[camera clicks] -Yay!

End of the pier. End of the pier, mate. Quick! Here!

Coming under the pier towards you. Coming now, straight towards you.

[dramatic music continues]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[dramatic music continues]

[Sarah] Something there, mate.

Uh, about ten meters ahead of you.

[Dan] It's, like, ten eagle rays.

[Sarah] Yeah! Quick, get it! Snap! Snap! Snap!

[dramatic music continues]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

-[camera clicking] -[points ding]

[music fades]

Have you got it?

[Dan] Wow!

-[Sarah] Did you get it? Did you get it? -Yeah!

[Sarah] Whoo!

We better not make too much noise though. Don't want to give away the game strategy.

This is good, hey?

[Dan laughs]

[Sarah] Back in business.

[upbeat music playing]

[music fades]

We are pretty sure that Rosie and Randy were camping out in a spot over here

to have a defense against us to not go to this site.

You know, it was pretty obvious something was going on, so we did wait.

And they walked away, and we took it.

So, you know, there's nothing wrong with that.

[Brendan] Absolutely.

The tide's coming in now, so everything's a bit deeper.

So we have to actually snorkel where we were just walking around.

Sharks do move. So, you know, we've got limited time here.

But, yeah, we're gonna go try to find that exact spot.

[tense music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

[laughter]

[Chris] I think there's three or four.

I think that's why they were sitting here for so long.

[dramatic music continues]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[mysterious music playing]

[Randy] We saw that the Docs took our, uh, bamboo shark spot.

I mean, it's a game at the end of the day, but… I feel kinda… about it.

Like, that sucks, but I mean…

-I'm not shocked. I saw them poach it. -Yeah.

I knew what they were gonna do. "They're gonna mark the spot,

come back in like an hour, and try to find it."

Yeah, that's weak, but it is what it is. It's a game.

[dramatic music playing]

[Brendan] There's a guitarfish.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Tom] Critically endangered giant guitarfish

get their name from their shape.

These stealthy predators hunt stingrays,

often wearing spines lodged in their faces as proof.

[Chris] Woo-wee!

I'm so happy right now.

We just started getting everything that we were looking for.

We found our honey hole, and we hit it at the perfect time, perfect tide.

Australia's known as a lifeboat for some of these really threatened species,

like giant guitarfish.

You really can't find them elsewhere in the world.

It doesn't get any better than this.

[dramatic music playing]

[Tom] Teams!

What a Herculean effort.

You managed to spot 16 different species of shark.

-Cool. Good job, everybody. -New high score.

You have all put the "hero" into Heron Island.

See what I did there? Bit of wordplay for you.

Not just a pretty face.

[Aliah] I think we definitely played the game well.

Did not waste any time, so I'm feeling very optimistic.

Before we go any further, and because I'm such a gift giving fish,

I have prizes for the winners here on Heron Island.

The winners today will walk away with regulators and BCD

from Poseidon Diving Systems in Sweden,

and these fantastic free-diving fins,

which have been specially crafted

by Australian artist and free diver Naomi Gittoes.

So, let's break it down, then.

Fourth place… is…

[suspenseful music playing]

…Great British Bait Off.

I don't know how much else we could've done different.

[Sarah groans]

It is hard. It is, because you're like, "Don't… don't take it to heart."

But you do a little bit.

[Tom] In third place is…

[suspenseful music continues]

…Gills Gone Wild.

[Aliah] I really thought my experience here

would have helped me more, but… it's just disappointing.

[Tom] It's been a great effort.

So now, we come down to the final two.

Shark Docs, Land Sharks… what do we think?

You mean when they cheated?

-[group] Oh! -[Randy chuckles]

It's only cheating if you break the rules. Sorry, guys.

[Tom] Shots fired.

Yeah, it's not like a small find that they stole. It was 75 points.

[Randy] I can't be too butthurt 'cause it is a competition.

I wouldn't have done it, but it is what it is.

You kind of charge it to the game.

Well, look. Who will be the emperors of the Great Barrier Reef?

[suspenseful music continues]

The Shark Docs!

-[woman] Whoo! -[scattered applause]

I'm proud of how we did. We worked hard, and it feels great to win.

[Tom] Well done, Shark Docs.

Here's your swag.

I hope you have enough for the extra carry-on at the airport.

We're here for All the Sharks, but after Australia, we got all the gear.

All the gear, baby!

[laughter]

But to everyone,

stay sharp, stay focused,

because this is where the training wheels come off.

Start working on your strategies

because I'm taking you away from these sunlit waters,

and we're gonna do some real diving.

So get packed up

'cause it's time to visit the Land of the Rising Sun

as we head to Japan.

-Yeah! -[cheering]

[man] Nice!

[Tom] We've got a ferry to catch. Come on.

Get your swag and off you go.

[dramatic music playing]

[Tom] Next time on All the Sharks, the teams head to Japan.

[Rosie] I'm literally out of air.

Wow, we are far from the boat.

[Randy] We're in a rip current. We gotta swim alongside.

-[Aliah] Do you hear that? -[MJ] Yeah.

[Aliah] The boat is blocking our exit.

[man] Stop that right now! That is not safe!

[Tom] And watch out for the sharknadoes.

I'm talking about fizzing maelstrom of snapping, snarling sharks.

[unsettling music swells]
