The mission of the OceanGate Foundation is to expand humanity's understanding of the world's oceans through exploration, education and outreach. We achieve our goals by:
- Organizing exploration expeditions that are scientifically, historically, or environmentally critical
- Developing educational programs for students and teachers
- Fostering a network of local, regional, national and international partners to leverage our collective assets and expertise
- Inspiring a wide range of people to support ocean exploration and the discovery of the deep
- Freely sharing all data collected during exploration expeditions for scientific, research, and educational uses
See how we are inspiring students and providing teaching opportunities.
