Plot Synopsis

LEGENDS OF THE DEEP is a one-hour documentary series that explores mysteries that lurk beneath the surface of our planet's vast bodies of water. The sister and brother team of Celine and Fabien Cousteau carry on their family legacy as they set out to uncover tales from the sea that remain shrouded in mystery and secrecy. From the tropical waters of Bermuda and Belize, to the shores of Cyprus and Nova Scotia, Celine and Fabien Cousteau hunt down and seek answers to the deep blue legends that have left previous investigators without answers. Using the latest cutting-edge technology along with their unparalleled diving expertise, Celine and Fabien explore shipwrecks, strange scientific occurrences, and mysterious natural anomalies, all beneath the sea. They launch an investigation in what may have crashed into the cold, remote waters of Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia in 1967, which set in motion one of the biggest search and rescue missions ever attempted on the Eastern seaboard. In another episode Celine and Fabien Cousteau look into the June 1980 sinking of the Zenobia, a massive ferry with 151 people onboard. Local legend has it that the boat was sabotaged by spies for smuggling weapons destined for the Middle East. Though five people have died exploring this wreck, that didn't stop Celine and Fabien and their mission to reveal new evidence. Celine and Fabien Cousteau also travel to the infamous Bermuda Triangle where there are rumors of a graveyard of lost ships in the deep and dangerous waters beyond Bermuda's outer reef. They also head to the Blue Hole, a giant marine sinkhole off the coast of Belize where Fabien becomes one of the first explorers to take a submersible to the bottom. And on land, Celine digs into Mayan history for another clue to uncover what this mysterious sea monster could be.
