The clip was filmed for 'Shark Week' on the Discovery Channel, and will serve as an introduction to one of Paul's "final missions".

Dwayne has previously opened up about his friend - who died in a car crash in November 2013 - and revealed they bonded over talking about their children.
He has said: "It was always the number one topic we would talk about.
"We would talk about silly guy things, his fast cars and my pickup trucks, or we would talk about the beautiful energy of Hawaii -- but it always ultimately came back to family.
"And very specifically the beautiful and important bond between a father and his daughter, and how we both realised that over the years."
