DIVE! Manned Submersibles and the New Explorers
maritime museums that will inspire children and young adults to follow their sense
of adventure and discovery. This 22 minute high-definition 3-D film combines computer
graphics and live-action to literally take the audience along for the ride as a unique
expedition of ‘Citizen Explorers’ voyage in submarines to the bottom of the ocean.
Viewers experience cutting-edge submersible technology and learn just what it takes
to get to the bottom of the ocean from the professionals who handle them. Plunging
beneath the waves, they share in the discovery and exploration of a shipwreck splayed
out on the ocean floor, and witness inhabitants such as octopus, sharks, and enormous
squid. Ultimately they experience firsthand nature’s miraculous ability to create
‘fortune’ from misfortune – to transform destruction into new life.
