Seasons in the Sea

Season 8 Episode 21 | 56m 39s

Filmmaker Howard Hall creates a lyrical tribute to an underwater Eden just off the coast of Southern California in one of the best underwater films ever presented. This stretch of coast is home to some of the most graceful and exotic sea creatures in the world – blue sharks, bat rays, purple sea urchins, bright orange garibaldi fish and magnificent blue whales.
