Ever wanted to swim with sharks without getting wet? The Shark Trust are collaborating with Real Immersive to create A Shark Story - in 360°

by One Ocean 360 in Plymouth, United Kingdom

Are you fascinated by sharks? Ever wondered where they live, how far they travel, or what they do all day? 

The Shark Trust and Real Immersive have joined forces as One Ocean 360 to create  A Shark Story - an incredible 360-degree immersive experience.

Featuring real-life 360° footage of sharks across the world, join us to discover what makes sharks so remarkable, and why they are essential to our oceans. Primarily designed for immersive domes and planetariums, A Shark Story aims to deepen people’s understanding of sharks, uncovering and illustrating why they are vital to marine ecosystems and showing how climate change impacts both sharks and the oceans they call home. 

Did you know more than 1,000 species of sharks and rays inhabit our oceans? That the smallest shark is only 15 cm long, while the largest, the whale shark, can reach 12 meters – almost the length of a bus! Or that Blue Sharks travel an astonishing 5,700 miles each year, journeying from Europe to the Caribbean and back? 

A Shark Story will dive into these fascinating details and more: from how sharks help maintain ocean health by supporting seagrass and kelp ecosystems, to the importance of shark sanctuaries like those in the Bahamas. Through vivid 360° imagery and expert commentary, you’ll feel like you’re swimming alongside these magnificent creatures, seeing where they live, and gaining insights from top scientists. 

Sharks are incredible animals with a critical role in the planet’s ecosystem, and they need your help...
