Bestselling author Clive Cussler, creator of the wildly popular Dirk Pitt adventures, teams up with renowned maritime archeologist James Delgado and some crack divers to explore the ocean's secrets in this compilation of eight episodes from the National Geographic series. Cussler and crew are not searching for treasure, but rather historical information, primarily devoting their efforts to investigating the sites of significant World War II shipwrecks. In one of the episodes, for example, they discover the remnants of a sunken aircraft carrier covered in ice, while another installment finds them locating relics from the D-Day landing at Normandy Beach. The “Sea Hunters” employ the latest technology—including 3-D sonar imaging—during their quests, which are here documented with amazing underwater photography. DVD extras include bonus footage from each episode. Both Cussler fans and history buffs are likely to be drawn to this engaging and informative series. Recommended. Aud: P. (E. Hulse)
