Sharks, Skates and Scotland's Incredible Underwater World

What do you imagine when thinking of scuba diving in Scotland? Chris Rickard takes us on an exciting journey underwater and shares the good, the bad and the ugly from thousands of dives around Scotland.

Through decades of diving he has made some amazing and terrible discoveries. He's experienced everything from the smallest molluscs engineering entire seabeds, to the largest apex predators, which inspired him to set up Shark and Skate Scotland, to the hidden destruction befalling the seabed. In this episode, Chris takes us for a deep dive into Scotland's underwater world, and explains why he thinks everyone should experience our native ocean wildlife for themselves...
