About the Game

Dive into an adventure in the earth’s oceans in your high-tech submarine fascinating spots like the Galapagos, the Arctic, Cozumel coral island, the Deep Sea or a WW2 shipwreck.

Swim with majestic whales, sharks and sea turtles.

Solve quests using your upgradeable tools: Cut with the laser to free jailed whales or entangled turtles, use the scanner for details on over 100 species, use the welder to repair subsea cables and the beam grabber to collect pieces of the infamous nuclear submarine Kursk.

Every time you re-visit one of the levels there will be new things to explore like new quests or new fish species. Just like the ocean our levels show the constant change.

You can take action for real life changes as well and support the work of real NGOs:
In 2024 Demi Lovato, Baywatch star David Hasselhoff and musician Joe Jonas were diving with you. The proceeds support PlanetPlay's certified Green Projects.

We partner also with the WDC - the Whale and Dolphin Conservation, the leading charity dedicated to the protection of whales and dolphins, and support their work.

The level missions are based around real sunken submarines, battleship wrecks and planes, Deep Sea creatures or Caribbean coral reefs. You will also encounter the giants and living wonders of the oceans from sharks, to dolphins, sea turtles and of course the blue whale and learn more about this unique, beautiful and threatened world.

With your mission success you contribute to protect and save the oceans.

On the mothership you can see scientific presentations and interactive data like a holographic table, Also you have a 'Maximal Comfort' setting against Nausea in VR.

We made a nice tutorial level so that you get comfortable how to move around and use the tools of the ROV best.
