As with any exploration, it is human presence that fires the public imagination and the drive to explore.

Our vision for the freedom to fly underwater is as the inspiration, the wings and engine, to open a period of human exploration and discovery of this planet - one that rekindles the depths of wonder, hope and promise not felt for a hundred years since the last golden age of exploration.

Humanity is in possession of a far larger, more complex and valuable planet than we realize even today. The planet we mistakenly call Earth is primarily oceanic. Its blue, three-dimensional habitat, averaging 11,000 feet in depth, is home to an estimated 94% of all life.

 

Currently only four countries have limited (manned) access to these territories - an area that is greater than all terrestrial land space - and it is estimated that less than one percent of this space has been explored.

 

Hawkes Ocean Sports has innovated manned craft that will effectively open access to blue space. Our hope is that we will harness the human drive for adventure, exploration and science in order to lay a solid foundation for understanding and discovering our own planet.
