Ocean Souls Explorer is a non-profit project to support science, education, exploration and filmmaking
We are supported by generous Foundations and Philanthropists.
As we advance over the oceans we recruit regularly, as internship or paid crew, so do not hesitate to reach out if you want to be part of this adventure.
You will witness the work of scientists, ngos, local communities, photographers and filmmakers, most of the time at remote places.
