Special Feature - World Champion Freediver Tanya Steeter
A luxury liner called RMS Niagara was sunk by a German mine off the northern tip of New Zealand in 1940. Apart from a salvage operation for gold in 1941, the `Titantic of the Pacific` has lain undisturbed.
In 1999, three of the world`s most adventurous divers made history by descending 122 metres to the Niagara using portable breathing equipment. They were Peter Mesley from South Africa, Dave Apperley from Australia and Tim Cashman from Wales.
Since then, Peter, Dave and Tim have been planning a return visit to film the wreck for the first time. The Science of Diving is the realisation of that dream in which they push their sport to its limits equipped with expertise, with cutting-edge technology and with an heroic sense of adventure. The triumphant divers barely have time to recover before witnessing an astonishing freedive by Tanya Streeter. Absolutely awe-inspiring.
