Access

Today’s technology allows us to provide ocean experiences to those that can’t access the sea. Through carefully selected partners we provide access on the ground and online.

With immersive VR and outreach programs, festivals, school visits and open days, we invite the ocean champions - young and old - to experience the world under the waves, often for the first time.
