Artificial Reef Octonauts

Octonauts, to your stations!

Barnacles, Kwazii, Peso!

-Explore!

-Rescue!

-Protect!

Octonauts!

This little reef is only a few years old, but it's already full of life.

-Aye, this reef is busy. Even if it's not very big.

-Hey, it's big enough!

-Who said that?

-I'm right here.

-Show yourself.

Here I am, I'm a frog fish, my name's Anton.

Oh, you look so much like the reef, I didn't see you there, matey.

That is the idea.

I'm camouflaged, which means I blend in with what's around me.

It keeps me safe from bigger fish who want to eat me,

like those sharks.

Sharks!

Everybody, hide!

-Hmmmm, I thought I smelt food.

-Let's head to a bigger reef.

-See what I mean?

-Hahaha! You fooled them, matey!

Fascinating, these other fish can't blend in like the frog fish

but the reef has lots of places for them to hide.

This reef keeps us and all our friends safe.

-It is our home, sweet home.

-Whoa, look out!

Wooh, sorry about that.

I fixed the paddles and now the GUP-F steering isn't right.

Aye, and as soon as you've fixed the steering, something else will break.

I know, but she's the first GUP I ever built,

so I can't give up on her. Maybe if I pedal a little faster...

Yup, that's good. Whoa! No, that's bad.

Tweak, matey, are you all right?

Yup, but now I've got to fix the steering, the pedal,

the rudder, the top, the bottom...

Ahhh, is there anything on the GUP-F that doesn't need fixing?

The seats are still comfy...

Ooooh!

Captain, the storm tracker shows that there's a hurricane on the way.

Octopod to Kwasii, Shellington and Tweak,

-there's a hurricane heading your way.

-And it's moving fast.

Take cover in the GUPs,

there's not enough time to return to the Octopod.

Aye-aye, Captain, we'll ride out the storm in the GUP-C.

-Very good, Barnacles out.

-There's a hurricane about to hit, matey.

Storm coming, everyone, take cover!

Eh... Whoa!

-Tweak!

-I've got to go back for the GUP-F.

-There's no time, matey!

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

-Ahhh!

Kwasii, Tweak, Shellington, are you all all right?

Aye, Captain, the GUP-C took a pounding

but she's still in one piece.

Wish I could say the same about the GUP-F.

Huh! The reef!

-Oh...

-Oh...

-Oh, no...

-Jumping jellyfish! There's nothing left.

-Where's Anton? Ahoy, matey.

-Glad I found you.

-Oh, I'm not.

I mean, if I'm that easy to see, then I'm not camouflaged.

How will I hide from the sharks?

-We can't hide either.

-Hmmmm.

I see what you mean.

Captain, the coral reef's been destroyed

and these fishes need a new place to live. We have to do something.

Agreed. Dashi, sound the Octo-alert.

-SIREN WAILS

-Octonauts, to the launch bay!

SIREN WAILS

Octonauts, the reef dwellers need our help.

Their home was destroyed by the hurricane,

and now they have no shelter or protection.

Maybe we could move the fish to another reef?

There may not be time to move them

before the second part of the hurricane hits.

Second part!

A hurricane starts with strong winds and waves that stir up the ocean.

Then there's calm, like it is now,

but that's because we're in the quiet centre of the storm,

known as the eye.

After the eye passes, it's followed by winds

and waves even stronger than the first ones.

But the fishes will never survive that without a reef.

Hmmm, what if we build them a new reef?

Ah, you're talking about making an artificial reef, Captain.

Bababaw artificial reefa!

An artificial reef can be made out of anything.

A sunken ship or even an old train carriage.

Algae, sponges, coral and plants attach themselves to it

and that attracts fish, who make it their home.

But what could we use to make an artificial reef?

Well, the truth is that the GUP-F isn't much of a GUP any more.

-Ah, dubdubdubdub...

-But I reckon it would make a great artificial reef.

-Super, super!

-Great idea, Tweak! But we'll have to work fast.

The first step, we should cover the GUP-F with algae and coral, Captain.

Using lots of sticky limpet glue.

Octonauts, let's do this!

Hey, hey, you missed a spot...

Much better!

-Well, what do you think?

-Oh, it has plenty of places for me to blend in.

-And plenty of hiding places for the rest of us.

-I say, let's move in.

Hold on, don't touch anything yet.

The sticky limpet glue still needs time to dry.

Captain, the second half of the storm is coming quicker

than we thought and it's going to be big.

Oh, but Captain, the glue hasn't hardened.

-Everything that was put on will get washed away.

-Oh, no.

-What shall we do?

-We'll get washed away.

-I'm scared.

-Oh, no, the tragedy!

-This is a disaster!

Don't worry, me hearties, we Octonauts always have a backup plan.

Anybody got a backup plan?

It's a shame the artificial reef doesn't have a helmet, like we do.

Hmmm, maybe we can give it one.

Hatch sealed. OK, Tweak, lower the towline.

Now, take it away, Tweak.

You got it, Cap.

Easy now... and down.

-Ho-ho, a cover! Oh, wunderbar!

-Thank you so much.

The dome will protect the reef, Cap, but if it takes a direct hit,

I can't guarantee it will hold.

Dashi, can you give me the exact direction

the hurricane will hit from?

Sending it to you right now, Captain.

Octonauts, we'll line up the GUPs A, B, D and E and form a wall

to stop the hurricane from hitting the reef too hard.

And I'll use the GUP-C to try and keep the dome steady.

Stay close together, everyone.

Hurricane force current will hit in five... four...

three... two... one.

Brace yourselves.

The GUP-C can't keep the dome steady, Cap, we're going to lose it.

Octonauts, re-group around the dome.

Octonauts, the hurricane is over.

-Oh, yes!

-Thank you, Octonauts.

Where's Anton? I can't find him. I don't see him anywhere.

Kwasii, you're not looking close enough. How's that for camouflage?

Well done, matey. Glad you're safe.

-You know, this reef is perfect for frog fish like me.

-And for us too.

-We love it.

-All of us... Wunderbar!

Well, Kwasii, I admit that the GUP-F was never the fanciest GUP

but I'm proud to say that it sure is the homiest GUP.

-It's wonderful in here.

-I'm no longer Feargal of the Sharkey!
