Summary

This one legitimately feels like a cinematic universe unfolding in real time. In this episode, Darin sits down with Gustavo Herman Moro — full-time landscaper, part-time explorer, and the modern discoverer of one of the most historic sunken treasures ever found off the coast of South America.

From uncovering the legendary La Capitana galleon to battling governments, navigating the ethical minefields of underwater archeology, and now pursuing what might be the largest treasure recovery in human history, Gustavo takes us into a world few have ever seen up close. This episode is adventure, danger, obsession, heartbreak, and purpose — all rolled into one.
