20th Apr 08: The BBC Oceans series

Mal worked in Tasmania with Explorer Paul Rose and a team of experts including Philippe Cousteau, Tooni Mahto, and Dr Lucy Blue on the section of the BBC Oceans series filmed in Tasmania. Here the divers enter the water off Tasmania’s rugged coast to dive on a shipwreck The Nord, which sank after hitting an uncharted rock in 1915. All the ships crew were safely rescued however and the wreck is largely intact in about 40 meters of water. The best way to visit the wreck is with the support of the Eaglehawk Dive Centre on the Tasman Peninsula.

The Executive Producer of the series was Anne Laking and the Series Producer is Helen Thomas.
