Confessions of a Marine
Biologist: Bros vs. Skull Smasher
Marine biologist bros battle a massive killing machine, “Skull Smasher”, on their expedition to Tahiti to study the coral-killing “Spider-Snail”.
This is the second of three epic expeditions in the Society Islands of French Polynesia in the South Pacific, in which marine biologists from the U.S. and New Zealand study how vermetid snail populations may be linked to human development.
In this episode, everything is running smoothly, as the bros dive all around Tahiti to collect data on “Spider-Snail”. However, a giant monster is waiting for them off the southeast corner of the island – to defeat it (underwater) will take persistence, patience, and a lot of air!
