Upcoming Projects for 2024
Join today and experience these discoveries first-hand.
The following projects have been selected for survey and marine operations. Due to the sensitive nature of these discoveries, code names are in place for the time being. As the recovery closes in, the actual name of the target will be released. Members will be provided ongoing information and updates as we work these targets and zero in on diving to the sites.
“Enduring V”
Flight 19 – Five torpedo bombers that disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle on December 5, 1945.

Silver Bullet Projects
A Silver Bullet Project is designed to execute the recovery of shipwreck sites utilizing the specific attributes of our research vessel, the R/V Judge Perez. While there are many types of high-value shipwrecks to pursue, the management of the Treasure Experience² has chosen to narrow the focus to a specific project profile with several common denominators:
The positive magnetometer and imaging sites rest in 50 feet of water, or less;
The distance from the ocean floor to bedrock is less than 5 feet;
There are no known (or expected) litigation issues;
There are no environmental restrictions or permits required;
The return to risk ratio is expected to be in the double digits;
Little to no conservation requirements needed before monetization;
An Admiralty claim may be granted for the recovery, if necessary.
