Our Mission
Honu’s mission is to deepen humanity’s connection with the ocean.
Indigenous Wisdom
The Honu mission is guided by our indigenous partners, who consider the ocean as an ancestor and a sacred place of creation and sustenance for all of humanity. They have lived in harmony with the ocean, navigated its length and breadth, and built both a connection and understanding of its life and processes. We follow them as stewards of the ocean and invite you to join us.
We must learn about and protect the deep ocean.
Our job is to provide access to a part of the ocean that has previously been in accessible and thereby extend our knowledge and relationship. Knowledge breeds compassion and we believe that experiencing the ocean first hand will allow for people to care for it more deeply.
To love the ocean, we must visit it…
For the good of the planet and humanity we must save the ocean. You cannot save what you do not love. The incredible technology of our Honu submersibles allows us to access the deep ocean in a new way, but we are guided by ancient traditions and knowledge.
Let the ocean change you.
“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
Dives begin in 2025
We invite you to be amongst the first to dive with us in beautiful French Polynesia aboard our Honu submersibles. Adventures begin in late 2025 and will fill up quickly, so we encourage you to hold your place in line. No deposit is required at this time.
