1: Explosion

It is the navy's worst nightmare. 60 Australian men and women are trapped in a submarine deep under the Indian Ocean after an explosion and seawater flood, threaten to sink the vessel and send its crew to the bottom. This is the incredible true story of the Royal Australian Navy submarine HMAS Dechaineux. In episode 1, the commander takes his submarine down to its deepest diving depth when a loud noise at the back of the boat changes the lives of everyone on board. An extraordinary battle for survival is just beginning. The Flood is a four-part audio and video documentary series by Cameron Stewart, Claire Harvey and Jasper Leak.
