[dramatic music]

[Tom] This season on All the Sharks,

four teams of experts dove into a global competition

to find the most sharks and capture them

through the lens of a camera.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Tom] They braved biting currents, surprise setbacks,

and more than a few underwater surprises.

[Sarah] I feel like we've entered my favorite horror film.

[Tom] Now just two teams remain.

British Bait Off.

Resilient, relentless, and full of surprises.

What?!

[Tom] And the Shark Docs.

Sharp, strategic, and cool under pressure.

-That was insane. -[laughter]

[Tom] They're headed to the sharkiest, wildest waters on the planet,

the Galápagos Islands.

Two teams. One grand finale.

Only one can win…

[cameras clicking]

[Tom] …All the Sharks.

[dramatic thudding]

[water burbling]

[dramatic music playing]

Shark Docs! Great British Bait Off!

Let me congratulate you

on reaching the grand finals of All the Sharks.

[music swells]

I think we are both just absolutely chuffed

that we made it to the final.

-It's amazing. Didn't think we'd be here. -[Dan] Yeah.

I'm really proud of how we've done.

[Tom] There could be no better place for the ultimate showdown.

-Welcome to the Islands of the Galápagos. -Yeah!

[Tom] We are so remote

that we're 600 miles west of South America.

Totally cut off from civilization.

[Chris] Galápagos is a place I dreamed of going to.

All the animals that we know we're going to see…

There's nothing more exciting than the Galápagos to a biologist.

[Tom] It doesn't get more extreme than this.

These waters can be treacherous.

And they will push your stamina, your mental ability, and your skills

to the absolute limit.

You wanted all the sharks? Well, you're gonna get them.

You're going to come face to face

with some of the most incredible,

beautiful, and deadly sharks

on the planet.

You're going to spend the next two days out on these waters.

Each team will live and compete from your very own liveaboard boat.

This is your base, your strategy hub,

and your only way to the sharks.

From when I set you going, you have 48 hours.

And if the sun is up, you can dive.

Well, I guess it all comes down to this moment, doesn't it?

This is anyone's game.

[Tom] One team will win, and one team will lose.

Now, for one final time,

kit up and head out!

Whoo!

[engine starts]

[Tom] Whoo! Go, go, go!

[timer ticking]

[tense music playing]

Sarah and Dan have done an incredible job.

They've been on a winning streak.

[Brendan] So we'll just give it our all and… and see how it goes.

I mean, the Shark Docs are the elite in this competition.

I've definitely felt a lot of pressure just trying to keep up with them.

Our entire play mode and our strategy has had to level up to be here.

Yeah, definitely.

[Tom] Over 600 miles from the mainland,

the Galápagos Islands are a remote volcanic chain

where nutrient-rich currents spark a shark bonanza.

Teams will focus on Wolf and Darwin Island,

two of the most legendary shark hot spots on Earth.

Massive migrations bring dozens of species through these waters,

like the majestic whale shark,

a giant of the deep, worth 100 points.

And then there are the locals.

Schools of scalloped hammerhead and Galapagos sharks are so common,

they'll only earn you a few points.

-[Brendan] Let's talk about where to go. -Come up with our game plan for today.

What Brendan and I have done is we're being strategic with how we plan our days.

So the best places for us

will definitely be on the… on the eastern side.

The way that we've always approached this is using science, research, our background

to make a plan.

Basically, all of these animals are hanging out on the side of the island

where there's upwelling, right?

The currents are going that way.

And because of that,

all the predators are gonna be hanging out on this edge of the island.

-Let's start the day there. -[Chris] Yeah.

[Brendan] Chris and I have lost the last two rounds,

so even though these scores are reset, we do have something to prove here.

We've been away from our families, friends for six-plus weeks now.

Pushing ourselves to the extreme. Working our butts off.

Seen some amazing places, but this is a pretty big moment right now.

Should we do this?

Yeah, we gotta get moving. You wanna get up and head out?

[Tom] Banking on science, the Shark Docs are playing the numbers,

diving a spot where they suspect

a nutrient upwelling is kicking off a feeding frenzy.

If they're right, it could be shark central.

But for them, it's not just about the win.

It's about making a difference.

I'm here hoping to bring some money back

to the Reef Environmental Education Foundation.

Their mission is to help regular people anywhere

get involved in marine conservation.

For Ocean First Institute,

it's very important for me that we bring home this money.

Ocean First Institute inspires young people to explore marine science

and to innovate new ways to understand and protect the ocean.

$50,000 is a lot of money,

and it would go a long way for both of our organizations.

Go!

[mysterious music playing]

[Brendan] Oh wow. This visibility is not so good.

A lot of phytoplankton

from all the nutrients upwelling from the deep at this spot.

[Chris] Yeah. All of this productivity and life is good for sharks,

but it's maybe not so good for photos.

[Brendan] Let's get to the bottom and look for the drop-off.

I think that's where the sharks will be patrolling.

[Chris] Wow! Just look at that life in every direction.

Fish are everywhere.

[dramatic music playing]

[Brendan] Okay. Here's the drop-off.

Current's pretty strong.

Let's hang onto the edge here and wait for the sharks to swim by.

[Chris] Whoa, shark! Galapagos shark! Huge one!

[Tom] Galapagos sharks can grow over ten feet long

and dominate remote island reefs.

Fast and curious, they form hierarchies,

sometimes schooling by size.

And they're known to defend their turf fiercely,

even chasing off other predators.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[tense music playing]

[Chris] That was fast. Good sign.

[Chris] Look! Hammerhead!

[captivating music playing]

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

[Chris] Wait! No! Tons of hammers!

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Brendan] Incredible.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Chris] Truly amazing!

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Chris] There has to be at least 20 of them!

[music fades]

[tense music playing]

Where there's gonna be strong current is where there's gonna be more of them.

So maybe further down here, there's gonna be ripping around this corner here.

We'll check when we get there. We'll have to jump in and find out.

I think it changes frequently.

[Tom] Also hoping to lock in an early lead by targeting lower-value sharks,

British Bait Off have zeroed in on a high-current zone.

Depending on what we see, we can explore a bit more as well.

-Yeah. -Perfect.

[Tom] Prime territory for massive schools of scalloped hammerheads.

Every shot they land gets them one step closer

to putting their points where their heart is.

Our two conservation organizations,

MARECO, which does work with whale sharks and also UK blue sharks.

And the other is American Shark Conservancy,

a conservation organization that works really collaboratively

in the community of divers, fishermen, and scientists

to change policies and protect sharks.

If we can help those causes, then that would be incredible.

[Dan] Three, two, one, jump!

[mysterious music playing]

[Dan] Visibility, not the greatest.

[Sarah] Current's ripping too.

[Dan] If I was a shark, where would I go?

Let's flow with this current.

There's so much going on here. They might not notice us.

[Sarah] Be one with the shark. [chuckles]

Big school of fish!

[Dan] More coming up. Keep your eyes open.

[suspenseful music playing]

And you know the old saying. "Where you find fish, you find sharks."

[Sarah] Dan, up there! There's a shark! See it?

[Dan] Hammerhead!

[exciting music playing]

-[camera clicks] -[Dan] Well, that's one way to start.

Looks like the current is taking us a bit shallower.

Let's see what we find up here.

Hammerheads!

-Hammerhead. -[points ding]

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Sarah] Well, I guess we found our place to find all the one-point sharks.

[Brendan] More Galapagos incoming.

[Tom] Perched on the edge of a thousand-foot abyss,

the Shark Docs have also landed in shark central, surrounded…

and scoring big.

[Chris] Check out all of the hammers around.

[exciting music continues]

[Chris] That is wild. Get 'em.

This is absolutely blowing my mind. I've never seen this many sharks.

That was an insane dive, man.

[Brendan] They're such beautiful sharks.

It's a real shame they're only worth one point apiece.

Let's head up and reset.

[determined music playing]

[laughter]

Whoo!

[laughter]

Oh. [laughs]

Pure joy.

-I was crying underwater. -[laughs]

[Chris] I've never seen this many sharks in one place.

This felt really good because we made a plan, a solid plan.

We both felt confident about it, we executed it,

and it worked out exactly how we wanted.

[Brendan] I think it's time to move.

We have to do something different. As much as I… This place is so special.

Give us a better chance for some of the other critters.

Okay.

This place is extraordinary. There are sharks everywhere.

Problem is, we're seeing sharks, but we know the Brits probably are too.

So we've gotta figure something out to try to step up our game

and get just a bit above them and get more points.

-Whale sharks. -Let's get the whales.

-Whale sharks will be there. -Yeah.

[Tom] The whale shark is like a living submarine,

over 40 feet long and gliding like a ghost through the deep.

Covered in a unique pattern of spots,

like a fingerprint, no two are alike,

making each sighting one of a kind and worth a massive 100 points.

Biggest fish on Earth. Let's do it.

[Tom] Back in the high-current zone, British Bait Off are swimming in sharks,

but each one worth just a point.

It's not nothing, but it won't help them pull ahead.

[Dan] Look! Look through those fish. Galapagos shark.

[camera clicks]

[Dan] And another one! Wow!

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

There's more of them up near the surf.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Sarah] This is so cool!

[mesmerizing music playing]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

Oh my God. There's so many, I can't keep count.

-[Dan] Literally everywhere. -[camera clicks]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[music fades]

[Dan] What an amazing first day in the Galápagos.

[Sarah] Yeah. I bet the boys are having fun, too, though.

There were just so many sharks. It's completely wild.

That was good.

That was unbelievable.

My mind is still blowing inside my head.

There's a hammer, a hammer, a hammer, there's a Galapagos.

We know anything that we're finding really easy,

the Shark Docs are gonna probably be finding it even easier.

Okay. Well, now… now what?

-Do you know what I mean? -Yeah, but that's a good problem to have.

It'll be worse if we jumped in, found… five hammers,

and were like, "Oh no. Now we've got to just keep going and going and going."

[Sarah] Well, we've probably…

Ignorance is bliss, right? [laughs]

So we'd probably be like, "Yes! Five hammers."

-[Dan] Yeah, maybe. -You know?

I think when you find loads, it's not, like, an equally, like, "Oh no."

If the Docs didn't see loads of hammerheads,

then… it's only then we're competing again.

[Sarah] Oh no.

[sighs in relief]

Yeah, this is true.

If we go somewhere else, it's a risk.

We might see something different,

and that could be enough to make all the difference here in the points.

[dramatic music playing]

If you think the Galápagos is remote, this might as well be outer space.

Both teams, in search of high-value sharks,

are heading here… Darwin Island.

With scores this tight,

they'll need the two-hour journey

to be worth it.

A tiny speck of rock

at the northernmost point of the Galápagos,

inhabited only by birds.

And behind me, you can see Darwin's Arch.

And it did used to be an arch, but erosion has taken its toll

and now turned it into Darwin's Pillars.

Now, this is the perfect spot for our contestants to dive.

Basically, it's at the end of a massive highway of currents

bringing life towards the island.

If they're lucky, they'll find some higher-scoring species

like silkies, blacktips, or even the elusive whale shark.

[Brendan] Chris, I can't believe we're here.

We spent six weeks traveling the world,

and now we're at Darwin's Arch, probably the best dive site on Earth.

If we can see whale sharks here,

I think that'll be, like, an incredible prize for us.

[Brendan] I'd be pumped.

My plan is jump in the water and hope that we land on a whale shark.

It looks like the Shark Docs have the same plan.

Yeah, I'm very, very excited to be here.

But it's also mixed with the element of… we're in a competition.

So it's not, "Go and enjoy yourself."

[Sarah] All right. Ready when you are.

-[Brendan] Chris, you see those birds? -Oh yeah.

There's a bait ball. That could be our ticket.

[Chris] There's a lot of commotion.

Wanna snorkel it? That's where I've seen whale sharks before,

under bait balls in the Bahamas.

-Should we do it? -[Chris] Yeah.

[Brendan] A bait ball is an area where you've got lots of activity

at the water's surface.

You've got seabirds diving down.

We look for them as an indicator for fish jumping

and being pushed up to the surface by predators down below.

[Chris] We're coming up on that bait ball.

[dramatic music playing]

It is… looks intimidating with the cloudy sky, the dark water.

[Dan] You're in the wild.

-[man] All right. Get ready, guys. -Now, Chris. One, two, three.

[Tom] The Docs are chasing the classic clue, a bait ball.

If there are sharks circling beneath it, they found their dive site.

[tense music playing]

[Chris] I see the bait ball. Where are the sharks?

[Brendan] What's that? Is that a whale shark?

[suspenseful music playing]

[Chris] Hey, it's an orca!

-[Brendan] What?! -[Chris] Orca!

[Chris exclaims]

[Brendan] Orca!

[Chris] Orca over there!

[Sarah exclaims]

[Dan] Wow.

[Tom] The Docs were hoping the bait ball would lead them to sharks.

Instead, it's led them straight to orcas.

They don't typically attack humans,

but when you're eye to eye with a predator this powerful,

there's no such thing as typical.

[suspenseful music continues]

[Brendan] We swam with killer whales.

Just, like, took a breath on either side of us.

[Chris laughs]

[dramatic music playing]

[Tom] This unexpected encounter could mean real trouble for the teams.

Orca are very accomplished shark predators.

In fact, they are the only creature that can intimidate a great white.

When they show up in numbers,

even the ocean's top predators think twice.

If orcas start to predate on sharks,

usually, the other sharks abandon the area.

They disappear.

We don't really know what's gonna happen here,

but it could mean that big sharks, the high-scoring sharks,

are gonna leave this area.

This feels like a potentially… competition-winning or competition-losing…

-[Sarah] Strategy. I know. -Moment.

[Sarah] Well, now that the orcas have shown up,

then the sharks may well have just cleared off.

If we dive here now, it could just be a complete waste of time.

Now we just have to decide, do we stay here and risk finding nothing,

or do we risk it and shoot back to Wolf Island

and hope that we have time to see something on one last dive?

I think we have to move.

We could go back to Wolf, happily.

It's two and a half hours.

Okay. I agree. Let's do it.

-[Sarah] Yeah? -Yeah.

[Sarah] It's risky,

but I want to go back and just try and get any different species

and rack them up

and hope that the boys stay here longer and see nothing.

[Brendan] If the orcas have gone, I assume stuff would come back pretty quick.

Seems like your gut instinct is to stick around.

It's the time in the water. We made a decision to come here.

Yeah. So, yeah, let's stick around.

[tense music playing]

Man, well, they're leaving.

Brendan's looking at us like, "What are they doing?"

[Dan] How were the orcas?

Awesome!

How many points did you get for them?

That many.

[Chris laughs]

-[Dan] We're happy for you. -Thank you.

[Chris] Those guys are going to spend so much time transiting back.

This is honestly a crazy move that Dan and Sarah are making.

That's all time Brendan and I, we're going to be in the water,

hopefully scoring a lot of points.

All right.

Settle in. Three hours.

-We'll get to Wolf. We get straight in. -Yeah.

And we try and find more species.

[mysterious music playing]

[Chris] The top of this plateau looks way different than what I expected.

[Tom] The Shark Docs are also taking a gamble,

staying put and diving

despite the risk that the orcas have cleared out the sharks.

[Brendan] Yeah, like a big sandy flat.

I wonder if the hammers like to hunt stingrays here.

[Chris] Compared to Wolf Island, it's dead down here.

Hardly any signs of life.

[mysterious music continues]

[Brendan] I wonder if the orcas have anything to do with it.

[Chris] We might just be wasting our time here.

[Brendan] I hate to say it. I think you're right.

Let's head up. Let's get outta here.

We've gotta get out of here. The whale sharks aren't here right now.

We're definitely not getting a lot of points.

That was the least sharkiest dive…

-[Chris] This whole time. -…in the Galápagos so far.

Makes you wonder about those orcas.

[Brendan] Tomorrow's the last day.

So we're gonna leave Darwin, head to Wolf overnight,

wake up there first thing in the morning, and get in a full day of diving.

Our hope is that Dan and Sarah maybe don't have that much time,

maybe don't get any more points.

[Dan] We'll have time for one dive.

What are you thinking in terms of dive location?

[Sarah] These sea caves might just be a good place to find something different.

We can just even bag another family of rays.

-[Dan] Yeah. -Feeling the pressure, though.

-Yeah. -[Sarah laughs] Yeah.

It was quite a commitment, this boat ride, but I feel like we had to take the risk.

High risk, high reward.

Okay, let's go see what's in the caves.

[Sarah] Cave diving is a bit different to diving in normal water.

For a start, it is pitch black down there.

And if you run out of air and you need to surface, you just can't.

[Tom] British Bait Off is diving into the unknown, literally,

hoping a cave is harboring species that avoid open water.

[Sarah] Hmm, that's not ominous at all.

[Dan] It's just a dark, mysterious underwater cave

on one of the most remote islands on the planet. That's all.

[Tom] The problem? There's no quick way out.

With solid rock overhead, surfacing isn't an option,

so if anything goes wrong…

Well, let's just hope it doesn't.

[Sarah] How far back do you reckon it goes?

Maybe it's full of all those high-pointer tiger sharks sleeping away.

Oh God. Actually, yeah, don't go too far without me, please.

[mysterious music playing]

[Dan] Let's just get in and see what's in there.

[eerie music playing]

[Sarah] Okay, if I check around the edges for rays and small sharks,

can you use your fancy camera lights up ahead?

[eerie music intensifies]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Dan] Oh jeez. I nearly swam straight into a turtle.

[Sarah] It's actually pitch black in here without the lights.

Do you remember the way we came in still?

Dan, Dan, Dan! Look at this thing!

[dramatic music playing]

[Dan] What kind of ray is that?

[Sarah] I think it's one of those round ribbon rays.

That's 20 points, though.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Dan] Okay, that's about as far back as I think we can push it.

Hopefully, we can find our way out from here.

[Sarah] Look at that for a light at the end of the tunnel.

[Dan] Hey, look! A sea lion.

[music swells]

[music fades]

Absolutely freezing. At least we're in our thermals though.

"Come to the Galápagos," they said. "It's warmer than ever," they said.

Well, the Cave of Wonders wasn't exactly packed with sharks.

Uh, but we didn't come out empty handed at least.

[Dan] The sun's going down now. The Docs aren't back.

And probably traveling back here overnight, I imagine.

Think we made the right decision coming back earlier?

Um, I don't think it was the wrong call.

Well, hopefully, the orcas were there all day

scaring off any possible high-point shark--

-[Dan] Or just keeping them entertained. -Yeah.

-Keeping them distracted. Yeah. -Keeping them distracted.

-I don't know. -Yeah.

[Tom] With day one of the finals coming to a close,

British Bait Off has taken the early lead,

thanks to their bold decision to heed the orcas' warning

and bail on Darwin's Arch.

[dramatic music swells]

[music fades]

[determined music playing]

[Tom] It's the final day of the competition,

and while Great British Bait Off gears up for their first dive…

-[Dan] Sarah! -[knocking on door]

Are you ready to beat the Shark Docs?

Desperate to make up for losing precious time yesterday,

the Shark Docs have been snorkeling since dawn.

[Chris] We really need to try to find ways to find species that are higher value,

that are a little bit more rare.

And that's really what's gonna separate us from the Brits.

Oh God!

Oh God!

[suspenseful music playing]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

One of the bigger tiger sharks I've ever seen in the water.

Not to mention, like, six feet of water in the… in the bubbles from the waves.

Just… whoo!

Oh. What a dive… what a snorkel.

-[Brendan] Oh man. -Oh.

-Oh, we just racked in points. -[Brendan] Fact.

I mean, the strategy that Brendan and I have had this entire time

is to just spend as much time as possible trying to get points,

looking for sharks in the water, at the surface.

We are not gonna waste any time.

All right, man. Well, let's do this.

We know this is a site we haven't been to yet.

Look for rays, and hopefully, some more sharks.

[tense music playing]

[Chris] Hey, what is that down there? School of something huge.

[Brendan] What is it? Get your camera ready.

[suspenseful music playing]

[captivating music playing]

[Chris] Whoa! Huge pod of dolphins.

[Brendan] Ah, I wish we could get points from those guys.

[music fades]

[mysterious music playing]

[Chris] All right, as cool as that was, let's stick to the plan.

Head down, and let's get some points.

[Brendan] Copy that.

[Chris] Man, this vis is not the best.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Brendan] How about we explore a little bit this time around?

[Chris] Yeah, that sounds good.

It'll be too difficult to see them out in the deep water in this anyway.

Here we go. Hammerhead.

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

Now, where are your buddies?

[exciting music playing]

[Brendan] Wait. What is that?

[Chris] Rays! Three of them.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[majestic music playing]

[Chris] And a Galapagos shark. Nice!

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Brendan] Yeah, this seems to be a good spot.

Let's watch the whole water column for a bit.

[Chris] Up and behind us. More hammers.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Brendan] Got 'em. Incredible.

[contemplative music playing]

[Dan] I guess, on this dive, we're gonna be hoping to see

as many different species as possible…

All the rays.

…in as great… great numbers as possible.

-Yeah. -Everything and anything.

Like, if you… if you see a shark and you think I haven't seen it,

wave at me.

-If we're drifting, let's drift together. -Yeah.

-If we want to anchor… -Anchor together.

…then we'll both signal that, "Okay, let's grab a rock."

-Yeah. -And we just stay in one place for a bit.

We just need to find the shark highway.

If we can find a shark highway,

we can just stay put and let the sharks come to us.

Way better than swimming against the current, burning all our air.

[Tom] A shark highway is an underwater migratory route

that sharks regularly travel,

like an underwater express lane for predators.

If British Bait Off can follow the signs,

they might just find themselves in the middle of rush hour.

[Dan] That looks like a good viewing spot.

Let's head down and see if we can secure ourselves to that rock.

[Sarah] Hammerhead!

-[camera clicks] -[point dings]

[Sarah] This looks like the perfect place for a shark highway.

Let's see what shows up.

[Dan] With this much life in the water, it has to be.

[dramatic music playing]

[Sarah] Dan, Dan, Dan! Eagle ray!

[mesmerizing music playing]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Sarah] Boom! Seven points.

[Dan] Correction.

At least a dozen eagle rays.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Sarah] They're massive!

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[mesmerizing music continues]

[Dan] That was a lot of points that just swam past us.

[Sarah] The Galápagos continues to deliver.

We actually just got a whole family of eagle rays,

and each one was seven points.

[Dan] Well, we found the highway.

[Sarah] Yeah, we found the highway. We just about stopped on it.

[grunting]

[tense music playing]

[Tom] Still neck and neck,

the Shark Docs have fought hard to take back their lead.

Now, with just two hours left in the competition,

it's time for one final twist.

You know, just spice things up a bit. I'm gonna let them know now.

Listen here, teams.

It's Blowfish, here.

One last chance to rack up the points

before we determine which team is taking that $50,000 prize home.

So, for your last dive,

I will double the points of every shark you capture on camera.

-Good luck. -That's awesome news.

-Yeah. -What do you think?

[Chris] The nutrient plume off the east coast?

I mean, we know that was the spot where we saw the most day one.

We have the chance for the biggest points. We have to go there.

So let's go do that? All right, cool.

-I think we both know where we want to go. -Yeah!

[Dan] Uh, let's head back to that current.

So our strategy is just to be consistent.

We know that there's loads and loads of sharks going through here,

so we're not missing anything.

But if we can rack up a few high-value sharks as they swim past,

then, hopefully, that will be enough just to give us an edge on the Shark Docs.

This could be good.

Yep. [laughs] I'm looking forward to it.

Last day, baby!

Let's go.

This is where it counts.

[dramatic music plays]

This whole trip, this whole game probably comes down to what we see on this dive.

It really does.

Yeah. I mean it's… it's our best bet, man. It's gotta be.

I feel good about it.

At this point, I have no idea how well Dan and Sarah are doing.

This could be anybody's game.

Now we just gotta hope for some luck and lean on the science.

Our whole lives, we've been training for this moment.

Can somebody not turn… Can you turn my air on for me?

It might be convenient. Thank you.

-[Chris] Right here. -[Brendan] This one.

[Chris] This one right here.

[Dan] Ready.

[man] Going time, fish.

One, two, three, four.

[Chris] Now! Go!

[Dan] All right, Sarah. Let's head down.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Chris] All right, buddy. It's all or nothing now.

[Tom] Both teams are doubling down on their day-one dive sites.

If they can find those same massive schools,

it will mean a flood of points,

and it could mean the win.

It's a race to the finish.

[dramatic music]

[Dan] I count five hammerheads.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Sarah] Make that six!

And a Galapagos down there.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Brendan] Bunch of eagle rays.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Brendan] Oh, and two Galapagos.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Chris] Talk about all the sharks!

[Sarah] How many hammers is that again?

[Dan] I've lost count.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Brendan] Big Galapagos shark.

-Wait, there's three of them. -[points ding]

[Chris] Another one down there.

[camera clicks]

[Sarah] Dan! Eagle rays!

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[majestic music playing]

[Dan] Got them.

[Brendan] Lots of hammerheads!

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Sarah] More hammerheads!

[Dan] Whoa. Watch out for that jellyfish.

-[camera clicks] -[points ding]

[Chris] Galapagos.

[camera clicks]

More Galapagos!

[mesmerizing music playing]

[music fades]

[Sarah] This is so cool!

There's too many sharks now though. I can't keep count of them.

[triumphant music]

[Chris] This is amazing, man. Truly amazing.

[Dan] Let's head up. It's time for a cup of tea.

[Sarah] Agreed. Roger that.

[triumphant music continues]

-[Sarah groans] -Wow!

Did you run out of space on your dive slate?

I couldn't count the hammers. I couldn't count them.

There were so many big schools.

[exhales]

[Brendan] Galapagos sharks. That's four points apiece, times 30.

And then eight… eight eagle rays.

[Chris] Thirteen eagle rays.

[laughter]

[Brendan] I mean, that's exactly what we wanted. We wanted a school.

-Can't do better than that. -No, we could not.

I loved it! I loved it!

[triumphant music continues]

[music fades]

[tense music playing]

[Tom] Shark Docs, Great British Bait Off.

I cannot tell you how proud I am

to see you here at the grand final of All the Sharks.

You've put in a Herculean effort over the past weeks,

and it has certainly shown here in the Galápagos.

What a journey it has been to get here.

You've traveled over 45,000 miles,

across five continents,

along the way, observing over a thousand sharks.

You've encountered more sharks during this competition

than most divers will encounter in their lifetime.

It's been an incredible journey,

but there can only be one winner.

One of you is to win 50,000 US dollars for a marine charity of your choice,

and more importantly, the incredible accolade

of being crowned the first-ever champions of All the Sharks.

Start with the Brits.

When you first took to the waters in the Maldives…

[Sarah] Shark! Dan! Whitetip!

[Dan] Sorry. No. I wasn't quite geared up yet.

You saw a shark, but you didn't take a photo of it.

I tried.

It was… calamitous.

And then, in South Africa, everything clicked.

[Sarah] Please tell me you're getting pictures of all these sharks.

-[Dan] Of course. -[Sarah] Finally.

Looks like we're onto something here, mate.

And you suddenly took the prize away from the Docs

before following it up in Bimini,

where you blew all the competition out of the water.

That snorkel could be our ticket into the final.

We had calamity after calamity.

We've got through all of those stupid amounts of obstacles together.

And again, I'm just so proud to be here.

Shark Docs!

In the Maldives, you were going at full speed.

[Chris] Tiger shark!

Aw, we get to showcase our bromance for the world. [laughs]

And you kept up that terrific pace for many, many locations.

[Chris] Whoa! A shiver of whitetips underneath!

Watch your right. Another shark.

We just started getting everything that we were looking for.

[Tom] But… things started to wobble.

And then, when you got to Bimini, the wheels definitely came off.

[Chris] Brendan, we did so well here.

Look at how many, uh, individuals and species we got. Zero.

Like, I'm not seeing anything right now.

Maybe they turn up once we get in.

Maybe they listen for the sound of the bubbles.

It's been a huge effort.

We've had this incredible time with, um, All the Sharks.

But look, it really comes down to this final moment.

This, throughout the whole competition,

has been the most closely fought of all the contests.

[suspenseful music playing]

Our first-ever… winners,

champions

of All the Sharks

is…

[suspenseful music intensifies]

-You doing all right? -No.

…the Shark Docs.

[applause]

-Oh my God. -We did it, Chris.

Thank you. That is beautiful.

-Well done. -Thank you, guys.

Well done. Brendan, Chris, well done.

We worked hard for this one. There was nothing easy about it.

It definitely feels like a good, solid reward

after all the effort we put in.

Yeah, we've had an absolute wild adventure.

I am so proud of how we've done.

It's awesome to be a small part of something

that hopefully makes people more aware

of the incredible diversity of life in our oceans.

[reflective piano music plays]

[Tom] What an incredible journey.

In just six weeks, we've crossed over 45,000 miles,

touched five continents,

and plunged into some of the wildest waters on Earth.

We've come face to face with more than 50 species of sharks,

capturing thousands on camera,

from elusive deep-sea hunters,

to the giants that rule the reef.

Each one is a living marvel.

Each one vital to the balance of our oceans.

This was more than a competition.

It was a celebration of the ocean's power,

its mystery, and its irreplaceable inhabitants.

And a reminder… sharks aren't just predators.

They're protectors.

They're indicators of ocean health.

They're treasures.

And if we want them in our future, we have to fight for them now.
