Cutting edge science and big screen footage from his two decades in TV will all help Steve to bring the icons of the Big Blue to life.
From Great whites to Great whales, seals to sardine shoals, Orca to the oddities of the deep: this is a fantastic opportunity for fans of all ages to dive deep into the wonderful world beneath the waves.
