Underwater cinematographer Dean Cropp sells everything to follow his legendary father’s footsteps, exploring the remote Coral Sea on his catamaran “Barefoot.” Fifty years after his dad Ben, an explorer and adventure film maker with over 150 documentaries, Dean retraces those same locations to see what’s changed—and makes discoveries of his own.
Joined by a crew of young free-diving adventurers, each escaping their own challenges, they encounter minke whales, tiger sharks, and pristine reefs. But seven people crammed on a small boat for three months face storms, equipment failures, and fraying relationships. Through breathtaking dives and raw human drama, this Bluewater Safari reveals both the wonders of our ocean world and the depths of the human spirit.
