Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A magnificent expedition 300 miles west of Costa Rica spotlights the remote animal sanctuary of Cocos Island. Its amazing underwater world has some of the ocean's most-feared, most-misunderstood predators. Manta rays, barracudas, giant sea turtles, porpoises and hundreds of sharks swim past on the giant IMAX screen.
