Oceans Discovery is presently in the developing/preproduction stage for several film projects; a television series on the impact of global warming on islands in the Caribbean and an exciting feature documentary about one of the most furious sea battles in history and an archaeological treasure of immense proportions. A special announcement and more details will follow shortly.

Two years ago Oceans Discovery has been chosen to design and implement new and innovative digital multimedia technologies and services for a newly planned marine-research institute in the Caribbean, thus creating a for the region unique educational centre of excellence. The technologies and services for this project have been designed with the purpose of establishing a relationship between the envisioned educational facility and the tourist/visitor/student. This process could be defined as a means to establish access, context, and outreach by using cutting edge digital information technology whereby the Centre presents its "virtual attractions/applications" to encourage an interactive dialog with visitors and students alike, by inviting them to experience a virtual environment that is related to a real experience that can be used as both - knowledge base and as a communication tool.

Oceans Discovery’s more than twenty years of filming experience in the documentary genre and the success of its “Oceans Of Mystery” television series, meanwhile being broadcast in over 110 countries around the world, are evidence for their expertise and competence. But OD does not only draw from its own accomplishments and experiences it has contacts and access to many institutes, museums, experts and scholars which the company has been working with for many years. This work and OD’s over a decade lasting and continuing presence on Discovery Channels world-wide, has led to the creation and implementation of Caribbean-wide workshops dealing with the preservation and sustainable exploitation of natural and cultural resources underwater. This project has been initiated and has the support of the European Commission in Brussels and UNESCO’s underwater division ICOMOS/ICUCH.

OD's international television presence has always attracted a range of sponsors to OD’s – expeditions and discoveries. Our sponsors are in support of preserving our common marine heritage and assist the public outreach program of the Oceans Discovery Foundation with equipment and donations. New equipment will be thoroughly tested during several expeditions. During our latest diving and filming adventures in the Caribbean we have used a range of Ortlieb Outdoor Equipment; in fact we have experimented quit a bit with some of the equipment items. Especially the bags proofed to be extremely useful on our boats by protecting our more sensitive filming equipment and lights during rough seas and other unfavourable conditions.
