Telling stories beneath the waves

Cropped image for Fugro.com

Ryan Chatfield and his mates have spent their lives exploring, and filming, the world below the waves. When they turned their skills to documentary making, a new connection, film-maker Brendan Hutchins, helped them pitch a series to Disney+, Shipwreck Hunters Australia.

Together, they tell the stories of shipwrecks, their victims and survivors, making a human connection to the past. Talking to Jon Baston-Pitt, they share with us what it is like to be truly immersed in their work, and their experiences interacting with marine life.

In the episode, we learn the importance of building strong and supportive relationships with our colleagues, and how taking careful risks together can open up a world of creativity and discovery.
