This huge critically endangered flapper
0:02
skate isn't what we're expecting to see.
0:05
We're 90 m down, miles off the north
0:07
coast of Scotland, diving a mark that
0:10
nobody's ever visited before.
0:12
Unfortunately, it's a really small
0:14
target. We get to the bottom and there's
0:19
What do you do in circumstances like
0:20
that? Well, all you can do attach a
0:24
distance line and go off on it and pray
0:27
that you've made the right decision.
0:29
As we do it, we see this massive skate.
0:32
They're really rare, but not what we're
0:37
just as we're getting to the point where
0:38
we think it's time to sack it, I spot a
0:41
change in the seabed and a load of fish.

It's a great clue that takes me onto the
0:47
We tie off our reel so that the other
0:49
divers can find their way down, but our
0:51
bottom time is really limited. We don't
0:54
solve today's mystery, but we do have an
0:57
unbelievable encounter with a stunning
0:59
creature that we'll never forget.
