Скачать или смотреть The Ocean’s Gliders | How Flying Fish Escape the Sea by Taking to the Sky

The ocean is a world of constant pursuit — but one extraordinary fish escapes danger by doing the impossible.
It doesn’t swim faster.
It leaves the sea.

The Ocean’s Gliders: A Flying Fish Story explores one of nature’s most fascinating survival strategies. Found in warm tropical and subtropical waters around the world, flying fish use powerful tails and wing-like fins to launch themselves out of the ocean and glide across the surface — escaping predators below, only to face new dangers above.


In this documentary, we uncover how flying fish accelerate to incredible speeds, how their aerodynamic fins allow them to glide for hundreds of meters, and why this evolutionary gamble is essential for survival. From underwater chases to mid-air boosts, their story unfolds at the boundary between sea and sky.

We also explore the flying fish lifecycle — from egg to adult — and their importance to marine ecosystems and human culture. In Barbados, the flying fish is more than a species; it is a national symbol woven into identity, history, and daily life.

A story of motion, balance, and survival — this is the flying fish, nature’s gliders of the ocean.
