A Diver's Diary fromthe Arctic Ocean – Part 1

Johan Candert had been diving and filming underwater for 25 years, but had never seen killer whales or whales in the oceans before. He recently returned from an expedition to the Arctic Ocean where he got to see both species up close. The Deep Seas team was off the coast of northernmost Norway with scientists to film for upcoming documentaries. In a series of reports, Candert recounts his experiences from the trip, and we follow him below the surface. In this first part, he talks about how killer whales find and manipulate herring, and the challenges of filming them as divers. We also hear from his colleague Göran Ehlmé, who has been diving and filming in the area since the 1980s, and ecologist Hanne Strager, who has been studying killer whales for just as long.
