Didier Noirot, a diver with Jacques Cousteau
on over 5000 dives, along with South African photographer Roger
Horrocks, notorious for his daring shark photography, team up to dive
with the giant Nile crocodile - the last predator on earth which views
humans as prey. Before meeting Roger, Didier battles
overwhelming fear, poor visibility and diving partners too terrified to
back them up.
In the clear waters of the
Okavango Delta, he had one fleeting encounter with a giant crocodile
that disappeared into a huge underwater cave and it became his
obsession to explore the mystery of the dragon’s lair. Roger
joins Didier and the two encounter terrifying black outs, deadly
hippos, and crocodiles who attempt to eat them. They then discover,
deep in the darkest lair, a 14 foot crocodile that accepts their
presence, allowing them to bring back footage that defies belief.
These men use the strength
of their beliefs and their intimate knowledge of animals to bridge the
ancient interface between man and reptile.
