##Experience the oceans like never before! This truly unique immersive experience takes you on a thirty minute virtual "dive" through the world's oceans.
Everything you will see was filmed by our team, underwater, in full 360 degrees capturing the moment from all angles. The footage is projected onto the inside of a custom-built dome theater that surrounds the audience, all set to contemporary music with guiding narration. You will explore Catalina's lush kelp forests, get up close and personal with majestic whale sharks, soaring oceanic manta rays, inquisitive bull sharks, mesmerizing bait balls, playful sea lions and dolphins, and even a rare dugong. Plus much more!
Our mission is to create immersive exhibits that drive wonder, curiosity, and a commitment to ocean conservation using cutting edge technology. With this in mind, 10% of our profits are donated directly to the amazing conservation groups affiliated with our filming locations, who strive to protect our precious oceans.
