Underwater cinematographer Peter Kragh explores California's coast, revealing kelp forests, rock outcroppings, marine mammals, and creatures from giant green anemones to deep-dwelling hagfish. The film shows how patience and expert camerawork uncover animal behavior that usually goes unseen, including the slow movement of sand dollars and the power of purple urchins.
