Eye on the Sanctuaries Tour

During the Eye on the Sanctuaries Tour OceanGate will embark on a series of submarine expeditions across the United States. During these planned expeditions to three coasts, the team of crew, sponsors, partners and experts will conduct dives to 500 meters (1640 feet), perform educational outreach, and host custom events for supporters, media, and the general public.

The expedition schedule includes opportunities for key sponsors to participate in submarine dives with the crew to:

  • Dive to the depths of the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary in the Gulf of Mexico.
  • Observe the unique habitat of the Farallon Islands during the season when Great White sharks congregate
  • Survey the wrecks of German U-Boats and American vessels sunk during the Battle of the Atlantic
  • Explore the wreck of the USS Macon, a rare piece of aviation history
