The training, build-up, practice sessions and the actual 30-Mile journey will be filmed in 3D to show the ups and downs of this dream as it becomes reality. This includes the physical demands, the explorerʼs mind- set, developing technical innovations and the final outcome with discoveries / insights.
The mission is to attract as many sharks as possible to estimate how many (or how few) sharks are present in the area this time of year.
