Experience a Dive
Are you ready for the ultimate experience of the depths of the ocean aboard our luxurious, custom-designed Honu submersibles? Would you like to support breakthrough scientific research and marine conservation? Then let’s begin our journey in French Polynesia, aboard the support boat that will bring us away from shore to the open ocean.

We descend…
You and your pilot will board the subs and settle in for the journey of a lifetime. We’ll conduct our safety checks and introduce you to the submersible and its functionality. We will then observe traditional protocol and pause to give respect before we enter this sacred place. Then, we slowly begin our descent below the surface into the undersea world…
We drop deeper…
… and descend into a world where vibrant corals create a kaleidoscope of colors filled with an unimaginable biodiversity of marine life…
…we may encounter turtles, rays, and other magical animals.
Snorkeling and scuba can open a world of wonder…
… but they are just scratching the surface of the ocean’s depths. Are you ready for the ultimate experience of the unseen ocean? As the tropical rays of sun give way to darkness, we witness living creatures whose lives are completely alien to us. Your guide and pilot will share stories and teach you about this unbelievable ecosystem.
We enter a world of complete and permanent darkness.
Welcome to the Mesopelagic Zone
As we enter the Mesopelagic, or Twilight Zone, we are anywhere from 660 feet to 3,300 feet deep. Our lights guides us down, but when we turn them off, we enter a world of complete and permanent darkness where animals produce their own light in order to communicate and protect themselves from predators.
Floating through this undersea wilderness teeming with life, we feel as if we are moving through the cosmos, as organisms twinkle all around us like so many stars in the night sky.
It’s time we ascend back to the surface…
As we slowly ascend back towards the surface, we watch the sun reappear and colors come back into focus. We return back to the ocean’s surface, grateful for our experience, and ready to see the world with new eyes and a new perspective of your connection to life on this planet.
You’ve now become part of a very small club of intrepid deep-ocean explorers. What stories you tell and what you carry with you is up to you…
We return forever changed.
We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.”
~T.S. Eliot
