A short clip from this week’s SEAmagine Submersible Pilot Training session in Redondo Beach, California. It’s been a few great weeks of training, with some excellent dives below the surface and a few wonderful surprises at the surface! #SEAmagine #submersibles #pilot #training #California

As the the last post, shallow submersible dives are always a lot of fun, as shown in this clip from the Bahamas at a shallow shipwreck. This 3-person SEAmagine Aurora sub is depth-rated to 1,000 m, but it's still great for a quick dive near shore and a look around. This is especially true in clear, beautiful waters like these! #OceanExploration #DeepSea #Submersible #SEAmagine #OceanScience

You don't need to dive to extreme depths to have a great submersible dive. Some of the most beautiful reefs lie just beyond normal scuba depths, offering spectacular views without the time limits of scuba diving. This video taken in Palau at around 80m to 100m deep shows how closely a SEAmagine Aurora can approach the reef with virtually no disturbance. Our new Arronax propulsion control system provides precise, proportional maneuvering while eliminating the front turbulences, keeping the view clear and the marine life undisturbed. #OceanExploration #DeepSea #Submersible #SEAmagine #OceanScience

Diving to 1,000 meters is always a special event, no matter where the dive takes place. These are a few views from a 1,000 m dive in Palau. What surprised us most was how much sea life we encountered at that depth as it was much busier than we expected. If you ever come across an opportunity to go on a sub dive – take It! #OceanExploration #DeepSea #Submersible #SEAmagine #OceanScience

Always fun to stumble across an artifact underwater. We came across this old anchor sitting on the edge of a wall at about 100 meters deep. The anchor was roughly 1.5–2 meters tall and looked like it had been resting there for a very long time. Not an expert but judging by its style, the anchor may date back to the late 1800s or mid-1900s. This dive was in the Bahamas. With visibility like this, every dive is a fun dive! #SEAmagine #submersibles #Anchors #Bahamas #Shipwrecks #UnderwaterExploration #MaritimeHistory

Here is another video clip from SEAmagine’s latest Submersible Pilot Training session in California. During a 300m training dive, the submersible encountered an unusually high number of Dumbo Octopus on the seafloor, far more than we typically observe in this area of the Pacific. The training dives also included operations at a nearby shipwreck site in shallower water, providing pilots a good training environment. The training session was for a team from Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST). SEAmagine offers scheduled Submersible Pilot Training sessions throughout the year in California. #SEAmagine #Submersibles #PilotTraining #OceanExploration #Submersible #DeepSea #KIOST #MarineTechnology #OceanScience

A great training session in California with the team from Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology during SEAmagine’s recent Submersible Pilot Training Program. Thank you to the KIOST team for the professionalism, enthusiasm, and great collaboration throughout both the theory and practical dive sessions. It was a pleasure having you train with us. This short video highlights some of the different phases of the training program. We look forward to welcoming more future pilots to upcoming SEAmagine training sessions. #SEAmagine #Submersibles #PilotTraining #OceanExploration #Submersible #DeepSea #KIOST #MarineTechnology #OceanScience

Great short clip from 550m deep showing an octopus hunting for its next prey. Once again, incredible colors and fascinating life from the deep ocean aboard a SEAmagine submersible. #SEAmagine #Submersibles #Octopus #DeepSeaExploration #OceanExploration

A brief look at the different environments we experience diving a SEAmagine submersible in shallow water compared to deeper water…always fascinating. #SEAmagine #Submersibles #DeepSeaExploration #OceanExploration #MarineTechnology

Sharing a clip from a fun shallow dive near a reef in Palau. Shallow dives and deep dives are always fascinating but very different. Same ocean, completely different world! #SEAmagine #submersibles #UnderwaterExploration #MannedSubmersible #OceanTechnology

A short clip from a 500 m dive in Palau and just shows that even on the dark blue seafloor, moments of unexpected color and life appear when you least expect them. That’s what makes underwater exploration so fascinating! #DeepSea #Exploration #OceanDiscovery #Submersibles #SEAmagine

We’re excited to introduce the Arronax Advanced Control System, now embedded in SEAmagine’s Aurora submersibles. Developed with W. Michael Zintel and already proven aboard SEAmagine’s 3 person submersible Argonauta with National Geographic Pristine Seas, Arronax delivers precise, stable, and intuitive maneuvering for complex underwater operations. A key feature, “Wall Mode,” eliminates forward prop wash, maintaining clear visibility and minimizing disturbance to marine environments during close range work. It is a real game changer in how we pilot our subs, enabling more intuitive control and clearer observation of reefs and delicate ecosystems. #SEAmagine #OceanTechnology #Submersibles #DeepSea #MarineScience #Innovation #Subsea

A short clip from a series of 1000 m dives we conducted in Palau aboard a SEAmagine submersible. What continues to stand out is the unexpected color and richness of life at these depths, along with the constant presence of marine life. In most cases, the animals simply carried on, seemingly undisturbed by our presence, while occasionally a few approached with clear curiosity, as seen here. As always, the camera captures only a fraction of the experience. What we observed firsthand was far more detailed and immersive than what any video can fully convey. #DeepSeaExploration #Submersibles #OceanDiscovery #MarineScience #OceanTechnology #SEAmagine

Clips from another 1,000m dive with the SEAmagine submersible in Palau. We were greeted by several tripod fish (Bathypterois grallator) standing on the seafloor and facing directly into the current. A fascinating sight. These deep-sea fish orient themselves into the flow, using their elongated pectoral fins like sensitive antennae to detect vibrations from passing zooplankton and small crustaceans. For those who are interested, the water temperature at depth was about 4.5°C, while at the surface it was around 29°C. A clear contrast between surface and deep ocean conditions. #SEAmagine #DeepSea #OceanExploration #Submersible #Palau #MarineLife

This is some great footage from a 1,076 m dive in Palau, where we found a surprising abundance of sea life. The Dumbo octopus was amazing to see, along with eels and sharks. At that depth, you really feel honored to be there, visiting a part of the ocean that remains largely unknown. Great dives! #OceanExploration #DeepSea #Submersible #Palau #SEAmagine

During a recent submersible training dive in Palau, we unexpectedly came across this WWII Japanese shipwreck resting on the seabed. The vessel, an anti-submarine destroyer, sank in 1942. The extensive marine growth covering the wreck shows just how long it has been part of the ocean landscape. Moments like this are always striking when we find a piece of history preserved on the seafloor. #OceanExploration #Submersibles #DeepSeaExploration #MaritimeHistory #SEAmagine

A short clip from a 550m dive we conducted in Palau aboard a SEAmagine submersible. Over the past few days, thresher sharks have been roaming close to our dive sites. This footage shows the closest pass we captured at approximately 85m during our descent. The deeper segment of the dive shows that even in complete darkness, marine life can be remarkably colorful…and unusual. The deep-sea cucumber shown here, often referred to as a “sea eggplant” (Synallactidae Paelopatides) due to its purple-brown hue, is a benthic scavenger found in deep water. We ended up just calling it “Shai-Hulud,” after the creature from the Dune novels and films. More to share from these dives… stay tuned. #SEAmagine #Submersibles #Palau #ThresherShark #OceanExploration #DeepSea
