But soon, it became a rush just to make it out in one piece, said Root.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously we do health and safety work immaculately, but we didn\u2019t expect the volcano to explode like that.

Water is not his friend. And yet, he said to us, \u2018I want to see and experience amazing things.\u2019 So, we were like, \u2018How about the bottom of the ocean?\u2019\u00a0 There was definitely a pause, and he was like \u2018Are you really sure?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In the show, Smith joins explorer Diva Amon in a deep-water submersible called a Nadir to plummet down 3,300 feet underwater.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing down to the bottom of the ocean, he was very fearful. You get a sense of him being very silent,\u201d said Root. \u201cI think that journey he had to go through his own real terror about the ocean made it even more amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_tech_boost_from_the_military\"><\/span><strong>A tech<\/strong> boost from the military <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the episode \u201cMind of the Swarm,\u201d Smith journeys to Serengeti to watch lions and wildebeest herd movements in the dead of the night.

So, there\u2019s a lot of innovation that has to go on.
