Ross Kemp: Deep Sea Treasure Hunter

Ross heads to Portsmouth and the Mary Rose Museum and takes up an opportunity he can’t turn down – to be one of the few divers allowed on the site of Britain’s most famous wreck, the Mary Rose.

Fresh from diving on the Mary Rose and still on the hunt for underwater artefacts that tell the story of the British Empire, Ross hops round the coast from Portsmouth to Plymouth, then on to the Gulf of Suez.

In this episode Ross continues his diving quest in the crystal clear waters of the Red Sea off the coast of Egypt. It’s a deeply personal journey as Ross’ grandfather fought in the North Africa campaign during World War Two.

Ross goes on the hunt for wrecks that tell the story of D-Day, the 1944 Allied invasion of Occupied France, and discovers how winning wasn’t just a case of superior firepower and numbers, but also ingenuity.
