99% of people don't dive and probably never will. It is a huge issue for ocean conservation. The ocean is another world that most people don't know or understand. Our big idea was to take Google Street View underwater. Funded by our founding sponsor XL Catlin we developed a unique underwater camera (SVII) capable of revealing the oceans in Google Street View.
More people went virtual diving in the first month of its launch than have ever been diving in person. The imagery is the most viewed underwater imagery in history (with views in the billions) and we've still so much to reveal.

Google Maps' Street View can also be used to explore the world's oceans and dive underwater without leaving your seat. There are only selected underwater locations currently available, but the views are breathtaking. You can see lots of aquatic life and reefs from around the world. Street View is supported from Google Maps website from your web browser. [links]
Within the layers, users can check out multimedia features that combine data and maps with videos, quizzes and other interactives, as well as photos from National Geographic. The idea for Google Ocean came about after Google Geo Products director John Hanke had a conversation a few years ago with NatGeo explorer-in-residence Sylvia Earle, marine biologist and tireless champion of the ocean and its inhabitants. She told John when he was working on Google Earth: “I hope someday, John, you’ll finish [Google Earth]. You’ve done a great job with the dirt, but there’s all that water out there — the world is blue.” here
will allow users to navigate underwater without a snorkel, exploring shipwrecks, algal blooms, maps of tiny phytoplankton, even the homes of the jaunty nudibranchs. [links]
In addition to National Geographic, several well-known marine institutions such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Scripps, and Woods Hole have contributed data. [links]
