What to Expect

After arriving at the dock, you’ll board the expedition vessel that will take you to the dive site. You’ll meet the other members of your dive team, talk with content experts about what you may discover on your dive. 

Once we arrive at the dive site, the Mission Director will lead everyone through final dive checks before going through the dive plan. Our crew will launch Titan from the expedition vessel and you will begin the descent to the bottom of the ocean.

You will begin to see alien-like lifeforms whizz by the viewport as you sink deeper and deeper into the ocean.  You may assist the pilot with coms and tracking, take notes for the science team about what you see outside of the viewport, watch a movie or eat lunch. There is a private toilet at the front of the sub if nature calls. 

The dive begins with an exploration of the De La Salle wreck located just off Nassau. Spend time exploring the artificial reef that attracts large schools of fish.  From there the pilot will navigate the sub 600 yards east underwater to the “Tongue of the Ocean” and travel down the ecologically rich subsea wall to the ocean floor. During your descent along this unexplored area, the onboard content expert will help you to identify rare species, unique corals and even deep-diving whales or sharks.

You will be welcomed back by the expedition crew once you’re back on deck, and you will be able to review the imagery from your dive captured by the sub’s external cameras. 

As we motor back in to port, you’ll leave the expedition vessel with a collection of media from the dives and an amazing adventure to share when you get back home.
