We're off the coast of Falmouth (Cornwall) on a boat owned by the charity Sea Sanctuary. On board a skipper, a therapist and two people, Susie and Ian, who are living with anxiety and depression.
Susie
It's something very special about being on the water. It's such a calming place. You can leave whatever troubles you've got behind and you can escape.
There are group sessions on board and everyone works as part of the crew, but the charity says the sea itself has a therapeutic quality. So what about people who don't live near the coast?
A team of researchers from the University of Exeter, a 360 virtual reality camera and a drone - they're trying to capture the power of the coast for people who can't get there themselves.
Nikki is trying out her videos on a group of volunteers. Some of the pictures are calm and relaxing, others more interactive, stimulating. Nikki will take her headsets in to care homes next year to bring 'blue health' to those who can't access it themselves.
