The animals are extremely exotic and strange.

It's, like, much more extreme than our maddest science fiction.

I remember that day when it all started.

I found this very, very special area

that is protected with a big piece of kelp forest,

'cause the forest itself actually dampens the swell.

And the whole forest around there

And in this little 200-meter patch, you can dive

and observe.

And it's an incredible place.

And I remember there was this strange shape to my left

and just going down...

and seeing this really strange thing.

[delicate piano music playing]

The fish even seemed to be confused.

And then, suddenly...

[gentle orchestral music plays]

At the time, I didn't know

I'd witnessed something extraordinary.

I'd come in at the end of a whole drama.
