Sharks of the Shadowland

In the remote waters of New Zealand’s Shadowland, government divers are threatened by mysterious Sevengill Sharks. Marine Scientist Jenny Oliver is attacked by one of these sharks – and returns to the scene with shark researcher and dive team member Kina Scollay.

Armed with the latest technology, can they learn enough about these sharks to keep themselves – and the rest of the government dive team – safe? Kina adapts the tagging and photo ID systems he uses on Great Whites to understand the nature of these un-studied sharks.

Could these sharks be learning to hunt the divers? Do they work together, in a pack?
