You can take almost anyone and double their breath-hold in a day of training. You can get them 20m underwater in a couple of days,” he says. “It’s impossible to talk about it without sounding really woo, but it’s a transcendental experience, one that puts you very in touch with your own body, very aware of where you’re at.” An orca circled me, then flipped over to show her tummy. It was magic

In ‘Lost Land of the Jaguar’he made the first ascent of Mount Upuigma in Venezuela, slept on the vertical cliff face and found unknown species of animals on the summit. He also abseiled to the bottom of the Kaiteur Falls in Guyana to the soaked wonderland below. He’s poured some of his recent learning into Deep Blue, a beguiling mix of anecdotes from his animal encounters and an accessible scientific explanation of the importance of our seas. They are the source of 97% of the world’s water and yet we know vanishingly little about their depths: 90% of the world’s fish live in the twilight zone from 200m to 1,000m and yet, astonishingly, three-quarters of the world’s water is below this depth. There are still blooms of life beyond the midnight zone. When a dead whale sinks to the bottom, specialised feeders, such as flame-haired zombie worms, devour the skeleton. Some “whale falls” support 45,000 worms per square metre, the highest concentration of life in our oceans.
