Series begins with Emma Gilbert practicing for her swimming competition, and her friend Cleo Sertori timing her laps. After the practice is over, Cleo heads home and is lured onto the faulty motorboat by Zane Bennett and his friend, and is set afloat. Cleo is terrified of water and is desperately trying to find a way off without getting herself wet, when an unlikely savior arrives - the new girl, Rikki Chadwick, jumps on board along with the missing part that, as it turns out, she had stolen. Girls fix the boat quickly and take it for a drive, splashing Zane on the way. As they get to know each other Cleo notices Emma walking home from practice and invites her to join them. Emma is reluctant, but finally accepts, even though she's not on board with Rikki's decision to go to the open sea. It turns out she was right to be concerned, as the boat gives up around the infamous Mako Island, surrounded by sharks and mystery. Without any other place to go, girls decide to paddle to the island, get to the higher ground and use their cellphones to call for help.

Soon, they realize there is no reception at all on a Mako Island. Still trying to reach the higher ground, girls try crossing some slippery stones, and Cleo falls into the underground cave. Worried, Emma goes after her, and not wanting to be left alone, Rikki follows. Stuck in a volcano cave, girls try to figure out what to do and Emma suggests swimming trough the moon pool and looking for an exit. She manages to find one, but, initially, Cleo refuses to go into water. After long conversation, Emma and Rikki manage to successfully convince Cleo to enter the moon pool. As they are about to swim underwater, something strange happens. A moon passes above the moon pool, and the water around girls starts to bubble and sparkle. Encouraged by this, girls swim trough the underwater passage and encounter a rescue ship.
