Shark expert and scientist, Dr. Riley Elliott is ready to give someone a leap ahead in the competitive world of shark research. During an intense six-week crash course on sharks, eight rookies will be put to the test for a coveted spot on Riley’s team.
Week Two: The recruits must hold their breaths and their nerves when they are trained to freedive into a swarm of sharks. Brad struggles with not being at the front of the pack, while Sophia has a risky encounter with a reef shark.
Week Three: It’s time for the recruits to prove that they can work hands-on with one of the most aggressive sharks in the world – the bull shark. Riley calls out Ryan, who’s confidence doesn’t quite match his performance.
The recruits are tested with the ultimate survival situation after being shipwrecked. The struggle to find fresh water, the constant attack by insects, and personality differences push them to their breaking point.
It’s hammerhead time as the recruits encounter one of the largest sharks.
The recruits face Tiger Sharks in their final and hardest challenge.
