Shipwreck discovery, live

The experience
is your treasure

Three million shipwrecks are still down there. We go and get them, and you come with us. On the boat, on the bottom, the moment it happens.

Who we are

An interactive entertainment company utilizing immersive technology to deliver first-hand experiences in shipwreck and historical marine discoveries.

Field record 1978 to present

The treasure is not what is found, but rather the discovery, adventure and thrill of the hunt.

For most of history, a shipwreck was found by a handful of people who then told everyone else about it. We built the technology, and the membership, to collapse that distance. You are on the boat. You are on the bottom. You are there when it happens.

What we do

Solving the mysteries
of the deep

01

Solving the Mysteries of the Deep

Every wreck is an unfinished story. We use sonar survey, historical research and proprietary submersible technology to reach sites that were, until recently, simply unreachable.

The Thrill of the Adventure

Members do not read the report months later. You get project planning detail, real-time updates by satellite while we are on site, and live-stream feeds from the seafloor as a discovery unfolds.
