Klin Wara
A huge mysterious land of jungle cloaked mountains and pristine tropical islands. A society of isolated tribes where strange gruesome traditions survive. An ocean where huge shoals of giant fish gather over remote sea mounts. An ocean of massive biodiversity, home to the most bizarre sea creatures on the planet. And where the debris of WW2 is scattered throughout the jungle and across the sea floor.
The place is Papua New Guinea.
It's here that John Boyle has come in his quest for the ultimate undersea experience.
It's possibly John's greatest film to date.

Secrets of the Giant Sharks
The two biggest fish on the planet - the whale shark and the basking shark.
Yet we know virtually nothing about their secret lives. Where they spend most of the year is one of nature's greatest unsolved riddles.
The ultimate ocean predator - the great white shark. Found in specific regions, are these just localized groupings - or is there a worldwide network of great whites scouring the ocean?
At opposite ends of the planet small groups of scientists using modern technology uncover the secrets of the world's greatest sharks.
With exclusive access to the research projects and to the results, this film totally demolishes many currently held theories about these ocean giants.
