Indian Ocean with Simon Reeve
Oman to the Maldives
Season 1 Episode 4 of 6
The fourth leg of the adventurer's journey takes him from Oman to the Maldives. He starts in the Strait of Hormuz, where oil from the Gulf is shipped through the narrow channel, then moves on to Mumbai, the ocean's biggest port. In the Maldives, Simon finds arguably the most beautiful collection of tropical coral islands in the world - but the fragile underwater environment is a barometer for the changing nature of the sea, as he witnesses how bleaching has damaged the coral and an entire island has been manufactured as a landfill dump to deal with the problem of rubbish
Indian Ocean with Simon Reeve airs on U&Eden at 12:00 PM, Friday 10 October. (Subtitles.)
