Exibido em:: Abr 06, 2020

Founded by divers Ghislain Bardout and Emmanuelle Perié-Bardout, the "Under the Pole" expeditions have invented a capsule that allows you to stay under the sea for several days at a depth of 20 meters: every diver's dream! Passing through Polynesia, the explorers welcome scientists and specialists in coral reefs, which are increasingly threatened by global warming. Maybe the opportunity to film a rare event: the spawning of the coral! After twenty years in mainland France, Ismaël Patu Huukena, a Marquesan native wants to rehabilitate the Polynesian wisdom and environmental values dear to his ancestors. He set himself a sporting and spiritual challenge: to swim to five of the fourteen islands of the Marquesas archipelago! An opportunity to fully commune with the Pacific Ocean and the marine animals that inhabit it.
