The documentary tracks PhD student Andrea Marshall over the course of a year as she dives the Indian Ocean unlocking secrets about the manta ray – a balletic cousin to the shark, with ‘wings’ which can span 7 metres (20 ft) wide. Underwater filming was carried out by Roger Munns at Tofo beach in Mozambique.
