The Mediterranean. Because people have been travelling there for thousands of years, it is believed to be without secrets. And yet, far below its surface, lie vast unexplored territories, luxurious gardens worthy of the finest tropical coral reefs. These natural wonders are inaccessible to the traditional diver, in a twilight zone, between 60 and 120 m, where there’s less than 1% of sunlight. If diving at such depths is always a challenge, staying there is a fantasy, a utopia that becomes reality in Planet Mediterranean. In the tradition of Commander Cousteau and his "houses under the sea," the team of diver-photographer Laurent Ballesta is undertaking a new world-record setting mission in complete freedom and without time limit.

スーパーマンが、メトロポリスでゾッド将軍と死闘を繰り広げてから2年。当時、現場に居合わせたブルース・ウェインは人知を超えた戦いで出た被害により友人や部下を失い、ゴッサム・シティでバットマンとして悪と戦う彼にとって看過できない事件だった。スーパーマンは世界各地で人々を救い続けていた。新聞記者クラーク・ケントとして過ごす日常では、同僚ロイス・レインとの仲もさらに深まっていた。大企業レックス・コーポレーション社長レックス・ルーサーは異星人とそのテクノロジーに強い興味を抱き２年前に墜落した宇宙船や異星人の遺体を独自に研究していた。

In French Polynesia, there is a place where every year, thousands of groupers gather in secret followed by hundreds of sharks… The photographer, diver and biologist Laurent Ballesta, with his team, wanted to better understand what motivates these fish to wait until the exact day of the full moon to spawn all at once! With the help of researchers from the CNRS of Moorea, they dived and conducted numerous experiments to study and witness this unique phenomenon. Taking advantage of this period of incredible richness, Laurent Ballesta did a record dive of 24 hours at over 20 meters.

120 metres down off the wild coast of South Africa lives an animal once thought to have been extinct for 65 million years - the coelacanth, locally known as Gombessa. A dinosaur fish, a living fossil, that remains the only link connecting fish to terrestrial tetrapods: its fins contain the beginning of reptile and mammal leg bones! And what about the vestigial lung found at the back of its huge mouth?… A team of underwater explorers will film these legendary fish like never before.
