A 360° Immersive Ocean Movie Experience (Catalina Island)

A 360° Immersive Ocean Movie Experience (Catalina Island)

Overview

Experience the oceans like never before! This truly unique immersive experience takes you on a thirty minute virtual "dive" through the world's oceans.

Choose from popular beanbag chairs or plush NBA courtside seats, all in an air-conditioned, comfortable space.

Everything you will see was filmed by our team, underwater, in 360 degrees capturing the moment from all angles. The footage is projected onto the inside of a custom-built dome theater that surrounds the audience, set to contemporary music with guiding narration. You will explore Catalina's lush kelp forests, get up close and personal with majestic whale sharks, soaring oceanic manta rays, inquisitive bull sharks, mesmerizing bait balls, playful sea lions and dolphins, and even a rare dugong. Plus much more!

Our mission is to create immersive exhibits that drive wonder, curiosity, and a commitment to ocean conservation using cutting edge technology.

This is a new experience on the island. What to know: it is a small dome (think pop up tent) that seats about 15 adults in chairs and about 5 kids in bean bags up front. It is a 30 minute underwater Imax type experience. Pros: Nice 30 minute break during the day to calm down, cool off, watch a relaxing movie that takes you underwater in many areas around the world. Not really any cons just understand you are not walking into a full Imax experience that you might have had elsewhere. Good for kids up to about age 10.
