About the experience
The Adventure of a Lifetime
The treasure is not what is found, but rather the discovery, adventure and thrill of the hunt.
How it works
You are not reading the report a year later
Membership is built around the timeline of an actual expedition. Here is what you see, and when you see it.
Before the expedition
Project planning detail: the historical research, the archival case for the site, the survey plan and the recovery approach. You see how a target becomes an expedition.
While we are on site
Real-time updates by satellite communications and internet from the vessel, plus documentation and sonar surveys as they come off the equipment.
The moment of discovery
Live-stream feeds from the seafloor. You experience the find firsthand, as it happens, rather than in a documentary cut together a year later.
After the recovery
Conservation, cataloguing and context. Artifacts enter the Virtual Museum, where the record stays open to members permanently.
The scale of it
Three million stories,
still on the bottom
UNESCO estimates that more than three million shipwrecks lie on the world's seabed. Together they represent cultural artifacts spanning over three thousand years of human history. The overwhelming majority have never been seen by anyone alive.
Our approach
Reaching what could not be reached
We employ proprietary technology, including Remotely Operated Vehicles and advanced scientific equipment, to locate deep-ocean shipwrecks that were previously unreachable, and to do it in an economically viable way.
Our commitment
The record belongs to everyone
We are committed to sharing both the thrill of ocean exploration and the historical knowledge that comes out of it: through television, internet, educational programs, and a Virtual Museum accessible to the public.
