The six-part series `Indian Ocean with Simon Reeve' sees the adventurer travelling around the edge of the Indian Ocean, uncovering stories from some of the world's most remote, dangerous and beautiful locations. It's an epic journey that takes him from the paradise islands of the Maldives to the front line of the war against piracy and terror on the streets of Mogadishu. Reeve begins his trek on the tip of South Africa, where he joins conservationists looking after highly endangered African penguins. And in his first ocean dive, he swims with tooth sharks and accompanies local fishermen as they catch a huge bull shark, which, tragically, is butchered on the beach for its fins.
