A mooring structure, known as a dolphin, has brought the Isle of Wight ferries to a standstill. The dive team must work day and night to repair the sea-worn structure. They then face one of their smallest but fiercest challenges - mussels. These small but deadly shellfish have blocked the pipes of a huge vessel, stalling it in dock.
