Main cast:- Officer Walt Neal; Sergeant Andy Miller.

Time period:- Earth, sometime in the future.

The far future where man has learned to filter oxygen from the water, to allow habitation below the surface of the sea. Looking after the security of these new installations and cities is an international force, the Sub-Atlantic Security Brigade. Also known as Shark Squad. Two of these personnel are Sergeant Andy Millar and Officer Walt Neal.

Essentially, these are crime adventures set under the sea. Artist Shone is given a break from drawing air adventures to draw craft and buildings under the sea.
