THE DANGEROUS DEEP-SEA DIVES TO CLEAR THE OCEAN OF 'GHOST NETS'

Cinemavixion Review

This documentary plunges viewers into the challenging world of marine salvage and environmental activism, focusing on the Baltic Sea Divers' mission to remove hazardous "ghost nets." Aboard the vessel BT2, the team, including divers Yan and Eric, navigates the complexities of operating at a depth of 17 meters near the wreck of the fishing cutter "Friedrich Engles." The film highlights the technical prowess and resilience required of professional helmet divers as they contend with the unstable wreck, stringent time constraints, and the unpredictable nature of their equipment. Collaborating with biologist Lena Platt, the documentary offers a compelling look at the critical, albeit dangerous, work undertaken to protect the Baltic Sea ecosystem from these persistent underwater threats.
