About

Immerse yourself in an underwater world in an exhibition that traces explorer and filmmaker James Cameron’s passion for deep ocean science, technology and exploration, including material on his record-breaking dive to the bottom of the planet in the DEEP SEA CHALLENGER, the submersible he co-designed and co-engineered. Experience how James Cameron’s passion for understanding and exploring the ocean has shone a light on one of the most important and least explored parts of the Earth. The exhibition immerses you in an underwater environment using cinema-scale projections, artifacts and specimens from his expeditions. Explore the spectacular and mysterious abyss and discover the shipwrecks of  Titanic and the German battleship  Bismarck. See artifacts from the design and construction of the  DEEP SEA CHALLENGER, which was built to withstand water pressure of 110,000 kPa. Learn about how technologies pioneered by Cameron for underwater recording, lighting, communication and diving are employed both in his exploration and in his filmmaking. You’ll also see original film props and costumes from The Abyss  and Titanic, including the iconic Heart of the Ocean diamond. Discover the world of a man driven to explore and meet the challenges of the deep.
