Avoid watching Jaws or The Abyss before your trip. You never know when the fish might watching. Along the way you are sure to see a magical menagerie of underwater creatures that make the island waters their home. You and your submarine pilot will explore the waters off of Cape Eleuthera, one of the most biologically diverse areas of the Atlantic ocean. Highly maneuverable, able to withstand hundreds of pounds of pressure, and with almost 360 degree views, this is light years beyond the average vacation snorkel. You’ll dive deep beneath the waves aboard one of the two submersibles on the ship, the TRITON 3300/3 or the Deep Rover, crafts well equipped for marine science research, shipwreck reconnaissance, and undersea videography. So come prepared for an active research trip during which you’ll gain in depth knowledge about our ocean, its vital importance to the health of the planet, and the impact that humans are having on its survival.Īs part of your journey you’ll embark on a voyage that few have had the privilege to undertake.

As a guest aboard the Alucia, with the OceanX team of incredible scientists, researchers and filmmakers, you will have the chance to explore this world like few others. This is truly the last frontier on the big blue planet we call home and we are just beginning to discover its depths. The ocean covers over 70% of the earth’s surface, contains 97% of the world’s water, and is home to a wondrous universe of fish, mammals, and sea creatures. The ocean floor is much closer than the moon and almost just as unexplored. You don’t have to be an astronaut to discover a new world.
