The Octonauts are a crew of adorable animals who explore the oceans in search of adventure and fun!

The crew of eight talented critters, which include Captain Barnacles, Kwazii Kitten, Peso Penguin, and Dr. Shellington, is always ready to embark on a new exciting voyage.

Along the way our intrepid heroes must dive down the deepest rifts, navigate upside down caves, and somehow cross the aptly named Bramblywoods! Can they convince the proud Shade King to let their shadows go? Find out!
