World's Toughest Fixes goes to Curaçao tonight, June 25

the new season of World's Toughest Fixes sees host Riley take you to the Caribbean Island of Curaçao, where a 50-ton rudder of a ship awaits repair.

CURACAO, NETHERLANDS ANTILLES: Caracas Bay, on the southeastern side of Curacao, harbors a fully loaded bulk cargo vessel during her stay for underwater rudder and steering gear repair work. The vessel was hauling iron ore from Brazil to China when its rudder was damaged. Tug boats towed it from off the coast of Brazil all the way to Curacao, part of the Netherlands Antilles off the coast of Venezuela.

Incredible!” — Riley, on helping divers attach lift bags underwater to raise the rudder to the surface. Riley joins a team of industrial divers on the Caribbean Island of Curaçao to salvage and repair the 50-ton rudder of a ship carrying $3 million worth of iron ore. With lots of money and big business on the line, the pressure is on and the crew gets right to work. After a quick hazing (where Riley is charged with getting lunch orders), he takes a crash course in underwater welding so he can accompany the crew when they dive under the ship to disassemble the rudder. They work for hours wearing 30 pounds of gear, including helmets and air hoses. Get ready to hold your breath as they attempt to move a 100,000-pound beast under 60 feet of water!
