Dive into the freezing, shark-infested waters of the Pacific Ocean with veteran commercial diver Elias and his tender Marcus as they embark on a high-stakes commercial abalone harvesting expedition. This feature-length documentary takes you beyond the surface to witness the grueling reality of one of the world's most dangerous professions.

Over the course of a 5-day trip, the crew battles treacherous currents, freezing temperatures, and the psychological toll of deep-sea isolation to harvest Red Abalone, a delicacy known as "marine gold." With a potential payout of $260,000, the risks are lethal, but the rewards are life-changing.

The Process: This film documents the complete abalone diving workflow:

The Descent: Witness the "hookah" diving setup and the reliance on surface-supplied air in the dense kelp forests.

The Harvest: Observe the precise, sustainable prying techniques used to collect legal-sized abalone from the rocky seabed.

The Danger: Experience the terror of equipment malfunctions, hose tangles, and the constant threat of the "Bends" (Decompression Sickness).

The Logistics: See the topside reality of the tender's vigilance, managing the umbilical lifeline that keeps the diver alive.

From the quiet dignity of the pre-dawn prep to the exhaustion of the midnight offload, this is an unfiltered look at the industrial athleticism required to feed the global luxury seafood market.
