Deep Sea Diver: Band 17/Diamond

"Roll double six or double three, let's learn about your history."

Join Aniyah, EJ and Olivia as they play their Ludi board game and are transported to another action-packed adventure back in time, helping real people from history and solving exciting mysteries along the way.

Aniyah, EJ and Olivia have been transported back in time! They meet Jacques Francis, a diver, who's leading a team to salvage goods from King Henry VIII's favourite ship the Mary Rose, which lies on the seabed 12 metres below. Can the trio survive the revolting Tudor cooking, save a girl accused of witchcraft, and solve a mystery?
