It is an underwater wildlife series which takes viewers into a 2,000 miles (3,200 km) adventure across the Pacific with a team of natural history filmmakers and deep water marine biologists.
The "Newtsuit" is a feat of submarine engineering – a bright yellow one-man submersible that Mike DeGruy has to master before he can venture even deeper into the Pacific abyss.
The team tests all the high tech recording and diving equipment before they head out to the Pacific Islands in Chuuk Lagoon.
They find many different species, including the mandarin fish (pictured), a beautiful school of barracuda, and the very elusive manta rays.
As the Big Blue Explorer heads to their final destination at Palau Islands, they test out the very futuristic "Newtsuit", that could take divers to new depths, into the abyss.
