Experience the oceans like never before!
This truly unique immersive experience takes you on a thirty-minute virtual “scuba dive” through the world’s oceans. Explore Catalina’s lush kelp forests, and get up close and personal with majestic whale sharks, soaring oceanic manta rays, inquisitive bull sharks, mesmerizing bait balls, playful dolphins and sea lions, and even a rare dugong.
