You are in a deep-sea submersible, searching the dark and mysterious ocean depths. This exotic environment is as inhospitable and dangerous as traveling in space. The goal of our eco-tourism voyage is two-fold: to follow a sperm whale 9,000 feet to the ocean floor and to encounter the legendary Giant Squid. Each is a unique occurrence. Together, they would amount to an amazing historic event.

We are face-to-face with weird and wonderful creatures. Our base is near a hydrothermal vent that teems with previously unseen life. We face the imminent risk of volcanic eruption. Shadows of strange monsters darken our view. Hold on for the deep sea ride of your life at our Challenge of the Deep exhibition!

Please note: Additional fee applies - $3 per person for the Deep Sea 3D Motion Ride. Must be 40 inches tall to ride. Other ride restrictions apply.
