Season 2
Diepe Waters (Deep Waters) is a South African, Afrikaans-language telenovela which takes place in and around a competitive swimming club, Die Swartmarlyne (the Black Marlins), owned by Gys Swarts.
The Swartmarlyne swimming club is a family business in which both Gys' sons, Rossouw and Jacques, are involved.
This season is an epic next chapter of star-crossed romance, action, scheming and drama.
Gys Swarts (Justin Strydom) and Zelda Joubert (Sandi Schultz) are far from finished with their ongoing war and dirty tricks.
And will Jacques ever be able to call one of his children his own?
Last season, no one will forget the faces of the Swarts family when Gys introduced his new wife, Meghan (Lea Vivier), to them.
It took a long time for the community to get used to it, and then the bombshell dropped – Meghan and Gys's nemesis, Zelda, had been working together all along.
Pam (Tracey-Lee Oliver), Zelda's daughter, had been looking for her biological father for some time.
Zelda played all sorts of games with Pam to keep her big secret, but Gys realised Pam was his biological daughter, and Zelda's world was turned upside down.
Poor Rossouw (Altus Theart) still can't get used to having an older sister.
The Swarts family, however, had some more skeletons in the closet.
Turns out, Johan (Liam Bosman) is not Sanet (Nadia Valvekens) and Rossouw's biological child but Jacques's (Werner Coetser).
And now poor Meghan is pregnant with Jacques's child, and he has to watch from a distance once again how other people raise his child.
This season, Sanet finds new love, Gys and Zelda's battle rages on with new family secrets coming to light, Rossouw decides to hit the road, and a sudden death leaves everybody reeling.
Vinette Ebrahim joins the cast this season in the role of Valencia, Lettie's (Stephanie Baartman) mother.
Ryno Hattingh has already appeared in Season 1, but in Season 2 he's in the thick of it as Riaan Vermaak, Meghan's father and also Pam's new boyfriend.
Eric Bouwer also joins the cast as Reverend Ben van Staden, Sanet's new love interest.
Diepe Waters is created and produced by Penguin Films, inspired by an idea of Neil McCarthy.
