Their dive site is located near an old shipwreck, where the group hopes to catch a glimpse of the elusive shark, known as the "great white." The ocean's depths prove to be unforgiving, as the group encounters strong currents and treacherous waters. However, their bravery and skills ultimately pay off as they reach the bottom of the ocean floor. While descending, the group stumbles upon a mysterious sunken ship partially buried beneath the coral reef. Initially, they dismiss it as a mere speck of history, but curiosity eventually gets the better of them.

According to local legend, the ship was rumored to be carrying millions of dollars in gold when it sank. Intrigued by this possibility, the group's excitement soon turns to despair as they realize that finding the treasure will not come without risks.
