The Sea Gypsies of Malaysia Part 2

Season 1 Episode 106 | 26m 46s

Les will learn how to catch sea cucumber learning the dangerous art of compression diving, and examine life in an area of the world where starfish aren’t your friends, sea urchins rule the ocean floor, and jellyfish leave more than a sting.
