Treasure Islands is a reality series on the Discovery Channel that follows a team of marine archeologists and treasure hunters as they explore some of the most remote and historically significant islands in the world. Each episode takes the team to a different destination, where they search for clues to the whereabouts of lost treasures and uncover the secrets of these mysterious landscapes.

From the tropical paradises of the Caribbean to the harsh deserts of the Middle East, Treasure Islands takes viewers on a thrilling voyage of discovery across the globe. The team is led by veteran diver and treasure hunter Mehgan Heaney-Grier, who brings her years of experience to bear on each new challenge.

This technology allows them to explore areas that were previously inaccessible, and to uncover treasures that have been hidden for centuries.

The show takes a comprehensive approach, weaving together the human stories with the marine archeology and the natural beauty of each location.
