Just off the coast of South Africa, a futuristic remote crawler creeps along the ocean floor. Its high tech nozzle is sucking up seabed gravel that's full of diamonds, and hoovering them up to the mother ship on the surface - MV Peace in Africa - the world's biggest underwater mining vessel. MV Peace in Africa is looking for diamonds. And Mighty Ships is aboard, capturing the drama as she tries to mine her goal of 240,000 carats a year. We see the diamonds hunted, piped to the ship above, and processed in a complex on-board plant, all in a high security environment that includes 200 surveillance cameras.
