For these brave few, there is a killing to be made. Millions of dollars' worth of abalone lay there, just below the surface ripe for the picking, but can the divers make it out alive? The Southern Ocean, off the tip of South Australia is home to more sharks per square kilometre than almost anywhere else in the world. The risk of death by shark attack is very real here, many divers personally know the heart ache felt from losing loved ones. But that doesn't stop this group of fearless men who, every season, battle against their nerves plunging to the depths and scouring the ocean floor for the much-prized green and black abalone.

Winter winds and waves storming from the Southern Ocean have battered the South Australian coast for weeks, forcing frustrated abalone divers to weather the storms with the mundane world of home chores, hobbies, footy, music and the pub. A rare fine day sees the divers up with the dawn, to make the most of the opportunity to fill their quotas. The abalone game has always been a man's world... except for the Bichard Girls; Nicole and Amanda. They use the money earned shelling for their father Rex, to get them through accounting and architecture schools respectively. Keeping it in the family their Uncle Darryl is the diver for the Bichard crew. Despite the huge risks they know the rewards at a prime habitat for abalone can be massive. They decide to take a gamble on an old abalone bed despite Daryl coming face to face with a Great White shark in the same spot only weeks earlier. At 73-years-old, Neil Williams is a legend in the abalone game.
