The Octonauts and the Skeleton Coast Adventure is the first episode of the Above & Beyond spin-off series' first season and the first episode of the spin-off itself.
After the Octopod crashes on a desert in Namibia, the Octonauts must work together to survive. But as they begin to gather supplies, they meet the Macaque hydrologist Paani who turns out to have far better intentions than first presumed.

Trivia[]
- The special was released early as a full 23-minute sneak peek accessible through YouTube on August 25th, 2021.
- This episode marks the debut of the Vegimals' new voices.
- This episode marks the debut of Paani and the Octo-Ray.
- This is the first time the Octopod has been made to traverse land, though only temporarily.
- During Above and Beyond's release in China, this episode was split into 2 parts (one of which presumably named "The Seashore Exploration"). When released on YouTube and Netflix, this was no longer the case.
- This is the last episode to use the original Octo-Alert sequence.
- This is the second time the Gup-H got crashed.
- Due to Season 5 not yet releasing abroad. This episode marks the first appearance of Min the Mapmaker outside China, during the Octo-Agent introduction sequence
- Min was also featured in a promotional image for this episode, implying she'd play a major part in it. However, she only appeared in the afroementioned Octo-Agent introduction sequence.
- The Skeleton Coast is the northern part of the Atlantic Coast of the Republic of Namibia in Africa, meaning the Octonauts were traveling somewhere around the southwestern region of the continent.
