The bottom of the Amazon River is home to many of the strangest and fiercest creatures in the world.

It was the first time an expedition had ever attempted anything so ambitious and they discovered an alien world, full of beautiful and bizarre creatures.

The team of divers and scientists arrive at the very deepest part of the jungle in their search for the extraordinary creatures of the Amazon river.

It is the climax of the expedition as the team prepares to explore a 100-metre chasm at the very bottom of the Amazon river. Scientists have no idea what lurks within.
