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.
