Great Choice for Teachers!
I bought this set to use in my oceanography class. I was told about the series by another teacher. In some supplier catalogues, the VHS version of the movies were being sold indivdually for $99- that means $400 for the entire series!!! This was a MUCH better deal, obviously.

I haven't watched all of the material yet but so far I am very impressed. Each segment is about 45-50 minutes long, perfect for watching during a single class period. There are 8 segments (2 per DVD), which gives me a lot to choose from! Additionally there is bonus material. The movies are well-organized, easy to follow, and contain some fantastic footage of undersea life. The narration is very nice. I would highly recommend using these in any oceanography, marine biology or even general biology class. A lot of the material focuses on the struggle for existance, adaptations, predator-prey relationships, surviving in the absence of sunlight or in extreme environments, etc.

These movies are great for ANYONE who loves the ocean, particularly ocean creatures!

best documentary yet
I saw this program on BBC prime, and had to give the DVD set to my parents. It was the most well received fathers day gift to date. During a family reunion; I turned it on while cleaning up after dinner, suddenly all generations were sitting and watching together, with ohhhs and ahhhs.
Highly recommended, (note has some food chain scenes that are not for the very young).


A wonderful, visual delight under the sea
This documentary is the one you'll be pulling out to show off the beauty of your HDTV to all of your friends. The quality of the filming in this entire series is remarkable. My wife is a teacher and uses some of these episodes in her classroom. The Coral Reef episode in particular is a spectacular feast for the eyes. This is the best documentary series I've viewed in many years.
