The money shot for the special was the underwater view of a Great White attacking a seal on the surface. Breaches in seal attacks had been a staple of shark documentaries for years, but ours was the first where the camera caught the entire attack from below. There were screams and whoops from the others as they watched. "That was AWESOME," Kai said as the credits rolled.

"That's what our competition is," I told everyone. "We can have more fun, but we do need to have compelling underwater footage. Without that, it's just a travelogue."

"We can do this," Amy said. "You just proved it."

It was a tearful goodbye...
