Hunt For The Giant Squid

For decades Ammonite has been developing equipment to explore life in the ocean. This research could lead to a glimpse of the mysterious, 12-metre, 200kg giant squid. Lurking some 500 metres below sea level, these real-life krakens have never been filmed in their own environment. Equipped with radical night-vision cameras and a custom-built stealth rig, the crew lower the cameras and discover an astonishing array of curious creatures and super-sized sea serpents. Could one of them be the elusive giant squid?
