-Octonots, to your stations.

-Protect.

-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? Show yourself.

-Here I am, I'm a frog fish,

-my name's Carwyn.

-You look so much like the reef,

-I didn't see you there.

-That is the idea.

-I'm camouflaged, which means

-I blend in with what's around me.

-It keeps me safe from fish who

-want to eat me, like those sharks.

-Sharks!

-Everybody, hide!

-I thought I smelt food.

-Let's head to a bigger reef.

-See what I mean?

-Ha, ha, ha! 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!

-Sorry about that.

-I fixed the paddles but now

-the sub steering isn't right.

-And as soon as you've fixed the

-steering, something else will break.

-I know, but she's the first sub

-I 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.

-Matey, are you alright?

-Yup, but now

-I've got to fix the steering...

-..the pedal, the rudder,

-the top, the bottom...

-Is there anything on the sub

-that doesn't need fixing?

-The seats are still comfy.

-Ooooh!

-There's a hurricane on the way.

-Harri, Cregynog and Ira, there's

-a hurricane heading your way.

-And it's moving fast.

-Take cover in the subs,

-there's not enough time to return.

-We'll ride out the storm in the sub.

-Very good - good luck.

-There's a hurricane about to hit.

-There's a hurricane about to hit.

-

-Storm coming, everyone, take cover!

-I've got to go back for the sub.

-There's no time!

-Harri, Ira, Cregynog,

-are you all alright?

-The sub took a pounding

-but she's still in one piece.

-Wish I could say the same

-about the other sub.

-Huh! The reef!

-Jumping jellyfish!

-There's nothing left.

-Where's Carwyn? Ahoy, matey.

-Glad I found you.

-Oh, I'm not.

-If I'm that easy to see,

-then I'm not camouflaged.

-How will I hide from the sharks?

-We can't hide either.

-I see what you mean. Captain,

-the coral reef's been destroyed...

-..and these fish need a new place

-to live. We must do something.

-Agreed. Sound the Octo-alert.

-To the launch bay!

-The reef dwellers need our help.

-Their home was destroyed and now

-they have no shelter or protection.

-Maybe we could move the fish to

-another reef?

-There may not be time 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 because we're

-in the quiet centre of the storm...

-..known as the eye.

-After the eye passes, it's followed

-by winds and even stronger waves.

-The fish will never survive that

-without a reef.

-Hmmm, what if we build them

-a new reef?

-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.

-But what could we use

-to make an artificial reef?

-Well, the truth is that the sub

-isn't much of a sub any more.

-But it would make

-a great artificial reef.

-Great idea!

-But we'll have to work fast.

-The first step, we should cover the

-sub with algae and coral, Captain.

-Using sticky limpet glue.

-Let's do this!

-Much better!

-Well, what do you think?

-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.

-I say, let's move in.

-

-Hold on, don't touch anything yet.

-The sticky limpet glue

-still needs time to dry.

-Th second half of the storm

-is coming and it's going to be big.

-The glue hasn't hardened. Everything

-that was put on will wash away.

-Oh, no.

-What shall we do?

-Oh, no, the tragedy!

-This is a disaster!

-Don't worry, me hearties,

-we always have a backup plan.

-A backup plan?

-Shame the reef doesn't have

-a helmet, like we do.

-Hmmm, maybe we can give it one.

-Hatch sealed. OK, lower the towline.

-Now, take it away.

-Got it, Cap.

-Easy now... and down.

-Ho-ho, a cover! Wonderful.

-Thank you so much.

-The dome will protect the reef,

-but if it takes a direct hit...

-..I can't guarantee it will hold.

-Can you give me the exact direction

-the hurricane will hit from?

-Sending it to you right now.

-We'll line up the subs

-and form a wall...

-..to stop the hurricane

-from hitting the reef too hard.

-I'll use the sub to try

-and keep the dome steady.

-Stay close together.

-Hurricane force current

-will hit in five... four...

-..three... two... one.

-Brace yourselves.

-The sub can't keep the dome steady.

-We're going to lose it.

-Re-group around the dome.

-The hurricane is over.

-Oh, yes!

-Thank you, Octonots.

-Where's Carwyn? I can't find him.

-I don't see him anywhere.

-You're not looking close enough.

-How's that for camouflage?

-Well done, matey. Glad you're safe.

-This reef is perfect

-for frog fish like me.

-And for us too.

-And for us too.

-

-We love it.

-Well, I admit that the old sub

-was never the fanciest sub...

-..but I'm proud to say

-that it sure is the homiest sub.

-It's wonderful in here.

-It's wonderful in here.

-

-Perfect!
