ABYSSAL EXPEDITIONS · EST. 2024
HOW DEEP
WILL YOU GO?
Eight civilians a year. One submersible.
The last true frontier on Earth is straight down.
01 SUNLIT ZONE · 0–200 M
Ninety percent of all known ocean life lives in this first sliver of light.
You will leave every bit of it behind in the first four minutes of the dive.
02 TWILIGHT ZONE · 200–1,000 M
Red light dies at 200 meters. Below 1,000, sunlight has never arrived — a night four billion years old.
The EREBUS switches to her own light here. 40,000 lumens against an ocean of black.
03 MIDNIGHT ZONE · 1,000–3,800 M
Nine out of ten creatures down here make their own light.
You are drifting through the largest light display on Earth — seen by fewer people than have stood on the Moon.
