•      Plot : Cocky Basterfield, the patrol leader of the Tiger scout group, and his friends are given the opportunity of a lifetime when they receive an invitation to take a freighter trip to West Africa. However, they did not count on a mutiny on board and a sick captain. A difficult situation for the group. But the Tigers are cunning and the mutineers, perhaps overconfident at the prospect of rich booty, which they hope to find at the bottom of the sea in a sunken ship, underestimate the boys a little. Because not only the mutinous boatman has diving equipment, but also Cocky and his silent friend Tarzan have one at their disposal. In this way, the battle against the mutineers is not only waged above water but also under water... and what about those sharks! (Source : boekmeter.NL)
