Young diver Kai tells us how fitness is key to the job and faces danger when the low tide threatens to bring the concrete jetty down on his head.
Tugboat Tyre
In Britain's biggest port, cargo grinds to a halt as a tugboat picks up a mystery object in its propeller, leaving it out of action. It becomes man versus rubber in an epic battle to get the tug moving again.
The Coastal Defenders dive team use everything at their disposal, even a kitchen knife, to try and free the propeller from whatever has been dumped in the river.
Ship's Survey
An oil tanker the size of two football pitches has new owners, and it must be inspected inch by inch before it's allowed to set sail. With the potential to carry enough crude oil to power a third of the country for a day, it's vital the team don't miss anything that could result in disaster if the oil spilled.
A second team is also called out to repair a vital piece of equipment on a cargo ferry that is holding up the transport of vital supplies to a nearby island.

A luxury floating hotel in London's docklands has a rusty bottom, and the Coastal Defenders dive team are charged with making it shipshape once more.

Save the Dolphin
A mooring structure called a dolphin has brought the Isle of Wight ferries to a standstill. In desperate need of repair, the whole ferry terminal must move to allow the Coastal Defenders dive team to swing into action and repair the seaworn structure.
However, the team come across a mountain of discarded rubbish, ranging from teacups to prams, as they work day and night to get the job done on time.
Mussels Mayhem
The Coastal Defenders team face one of their smallest but fiercest challenges -mussels. These small but deadly shellfish have blocked the pipes of a huge vessel, stalling it in dock.
The divers must blast the mussels out of their hiding places to allow the ship to sail once more.
Ferry Emergency
Work never stops for the Coastal Defenders diving team, and today they get a late call from a boat in peril. A missing lifeboat canister means the ship can't sail, causing chaos for the passengers that use the service for their daily commute.
It's a needle in a haystack hunt in near zero visibility, and local leisure cruisers create imminent danger for the diver under the water.
Operation Abandoned Boats
The Coastal Defenders dive team have been charged with clearing abandoned boats causing an eyesore and navigational hazard in a picturesque part of the river.
Facing the threat of dangerous chemicals, metal boats and lots of mud, the team must chase the tide in what is one of the most unusual daily commutes. But disaster strikes, leaving the team stranded into the night on one of their most challenging jobs yet.
