Most of us see fishing as fun on a lazy day. You cast your line, reel in a prize, and relax. But at the University of Tasmania , fishing goes in The Deep End…

The University of Tasmania is one of Australia 's oldest and most respected institutions, and one of the country's leading marine research Universities. At UTAS, students and post-graduate researchers take their passion for all things aquatic and turn it into their life's work. And in 2008, the Australian Maritime College (AMC) has joined UTAS as an institute taking our marine capacity to a new level.

The popular jokesters on Hook, Line and Sinker are teaming up with the academics at UTAS to present you with a range of mind-stretching sea stories that will excite your curiosity about what lies beneath the deep blue sea!

So broaden your horizons, take a deep breath, and jump into The Deep End.

Screening Saturday 5pm on Southern Cross Television.
