Ocean Girl is about a teenage girl called Neri (Marzena Godecki) who can communicate with a Whale which is called Charlie. Neri makes friends with two boys who live in an UnderWater research community called Orca. The boys are Jason Bates (David Hofflin) and Brett Bates (Jefferey Walker) who throughout all the 4 seasons (series) introduce Neri to a load of new people and the world. Together they work out who Neri is and where she comes from, Find Neri's long-lost sister, save the world (not once but twice), and bring up some important issues concerning the world and the people in it. This show has a fun, entertaining and it also teaches you a few things all at the same time. It keeps you entertained and you always seem to want more. It was and still is a great and amazing show to watch. :)It follow Neri and the Jason and Brett as well as their mother Dianne (Kerry Armstrong/Liz Burch) (two seasons each)and her Research Assistant Winston (Alex Pinder) on some amazing adventures and meeting some amazing people. They are constantly trying to keep Neri's secret with the help of some other ORCA teenagers and protect the oceans. they constantly have to ward off UBRI, which is another research company that is after Neri and Charlie, as well as PRAXIS, which is an Alien Intelligence Agency who is after Neri........did i mention Neri was an Alien from a planet in our language 'The Ocean Planet' and it is revealed in season 4 that she is the Princess of her planet!!........ and they save Earth (and the Solar System) with the Syncronium.....When i say the Solar System i do mean the Solar System as Earth would have spiralled out of control and hit other planets which would hit other planets and hit other planets and so on and so on..... as well as in season 4 the Earth and the Ocean Planet from the 'Red Virus' which was created by Malikat a Evil person from the Ocean Planet. Once again i loved this show and i still do (I am only 15 years old at the time of writing this) and i wish that their were more episodes. i would/ have told my friends about it who also loved it and i hope you do too.Thanks :)Enjoy the show!!! :)

I recently watched all four seasons of Ocean Girl on DVD and I loved it! This is a beautiful show which was filmed in two of Australia's great natural wonders the Daintree Rainforrest and the Great Barrier Reef. The heroine of the show Neri is a wonderful character. She's so peaceful, innocent and beautiful.Neri is a mysterious teenage girl who lives alone on an uninhabited tropical island off the coast of northern Queensland. Neri has lived alone on this island for as long as she can remember. Neri is no ordinary girl as she has incredible abilities. She can breathe underwater and can swim great depths and long distances underwater. She can also communicate telepathically with a humpback whale she calls "Charley". Off the coast of Port Douglas is an underwater research and environmental protection facility called ORCA (Ocean Research Centre of Australia). In the pilot episode of Ocean Girl a marine scientist and cetologist (i.e. whale scientist) named Dr. Diane Bates comes to ORCA along with her sons, teenage Jason and his younger brother Brett. The Bates brothers encounter Neri and befriend her and agree to keep Neri a secret. At the same time the Bates brother's mother Dr. Bates and is studying Neri's whale "Charley" and she eventually learns about Neri. Dr. Bates is able to gain Neri's trust and becomes a surrogate mother to her. She also attempts to keep Neri a secret while secretly doing experiments on Neri to try and understand her extraordinary physiology. At the same time a rival research organization called UBRI headed by the corrupt Dr. Hellegren is introduced. This organization performs a number of secret and unethical experiments many of which cause damage to the environment. In the last few episodes of the first season, a spy from UBRI steals a copy of recorded whale song and UBRI uses it to trap Charley. In the last episode of the first season the Bates Brothers reveal Neri to the other children living on ORCA, then the Bates brothers, the other ORCA children and Neri work together and successfully free Charley.Neri doesn't learn her origins until the second season when Neri with the help of the Bates brothers discover a spacecraft buried under the sand on Neri's island. In the spacecraft they find a holographic recording made by Neri's father explaining that he and Neri are "Ocean People" who come from the "OceanPlanet". Neri's father was a scientist who came to study and protect the Earth's oceans, but the spacecraft crash-landed on Earth. Neri's father also explained that there was another member of Neri's family on the spacecraft Neri's younger sister Mera who was a baby at the time and was placed in a capsule which landed somewhere off the coast of Northern Queensland. The Bates brothers and the other children are eventually able to locate Mera who is living in a foster home. UBRI also learns about Mera and her abilities but the ORCA children persuade Mera to flee with them before UBRI can take her. Mera is reunited with Neri and two sisters live together on Neri's island. But UBRI finds out about the two girls and endeavours to capture them. The Bates brothers and the other ORCA children are able to thwart UBRI's attempts. Then two Ocean People come to Earth to take the two girls home. Mera happily returns to her home planet but Neri decides to stay on Earth to finish her father's work.In the third season of the show Neri and the Bates brothers search further into the buried spacecraft and discover logs revealing that Neri's father had with him this powerful device called the "Syncronium", which has the power to revitalize the worlds oceans and thus save the Earth from destruction. When the spacecraft crashed all the pieces of the "Syncronium" landed in different areas on the ocean and land. The Bates brothers, along with several children living on ORCA help Neri locate the pieces of the "Syncronium". Unfortunately Dr. Hellegren of UBRI also learns about the "Syncronium and wants it for his own selfish reasons. So the ORCA children have to try and stay ahead of UBRI.For some reason the fourth season of the show wasn't shown in the U.S. I've no idea why as the fourth season is really enjoyable. Neri and the Bates brothers discover an underwater Pyramid located in the South Pacific built by the Ocean People thousands of years ago. In this Pyramid is a hologram of Neri's mother Queen Shalamorn of the "Ocean Planet" who informs Neri that her destiny is to become princess of her people. The Ocean Planet and the Ocean People are finally revealed in this season. There is great chaos on the Ocean Planet as a deadly plague known as the "Red Virus" has contaminated the planet. A group of rebel Ocean People led by Malakat (a deranged tyrant) and Shersheba (a depraved member of the Ocean People royal family trying to steal Neri's heritage) lead a coup and make plans to invade and conquer Earth, something the majority of the Ocean People are highly opposed to. The other antagonist in the fourth season is PRAXIS (Preventative Response And eXtraterritorial Intelligence Service) an intelligence agency which investigates extraterrestrial activity. PRAXIS learns about Neri and believes that her people are a problem for Earth. The two PRAXIS field agents are Jake Shelby (a callous and arrogant American agent) and his partner Ellie Hauser (a blonde haired Australian woman) who unlike Shelby follows her conscience. So the Bates brothers have to protect Neri from the both PRAXIS and the rebel Ocean People, save the Earth and help Neri achieve her destiny as princess of her people.So Ocean Girl is a wonderful show. It is also one of the few Australian shows to perform so well internationally. So I highly recommend this show to anyone.

I remember watching this show every Monday night! I use to come home and wait for it to come on. This much I remember in the first season there was a girl named Nira that could talk to her best friend whale under water (that's also where she lived). She later befriends to teenage boys who are living in this underwater city with their mom and fellow scientists and i remember a teenage girl that lived there too and she didn't like Nira for the longest time. There was an enemy of bad scientist too who was trying to conduct experiments on the whales. In the second season i remember Nira and her friends looking for her long lost sister who had been living with adopted parents and everyone was awed because of how fast she could swim and how long she could hold her breath. I remember something in sadly the last season about a spaceship and how Nira and her sister were aliens from another planet. This t.v. show was awesome and I wish I could watch them all over again so i could understand them better....considering i was like in 3rd grade last time i saw an episode.

Ocean girl was a show on the Disney Channel that my sister and I used to watch when I was probably like 7 or 8. I really used to love it and looked forward to the new episodes on Monday night. It was about a girl who lived on an island and could actually communicate with a whale who was her best friend. She later met 2 teenage boys that lived on an underwater community with their parents, who studied whales. She also had a sister but she didn't come until later on in the season or maybe even the second season. I remember that she could also hold her breath for like 4 minutes, and she some times talked to her father who was dead, but I forgot how exactly they communicated. There were also these "villain" scientists who were also trying to learn about the whales and were competing with the people from the underwater habitat. It was definitely not your typical show of that day, but it was something that you had to follow and it was really mind boggling.
