We support our friends at Sea Shepard and promote the concept of reduce, reuse, recycle with the use of repurposed weights recovered from ghost nets pulled from the Sea of Cortez.
Ghost nets are responsible for trapping and killing millions of marine animals including sharks, rays, turtles, dolphins, and whales. After removal, the lead is melted down and recast into scuba diving weights.
We’re excited to announce our new partnership with Bucea Baja Norte, a boutique dive shop based in Tijuana. Known for their personalized approach and passion for Baja’s underwater world, they’re the perfect match for Odyssea’s ethos of white-glove adventure and conservation.
Together, we’re developing and running cross-border excursions that connect two vibrant dive communities — opening Southern California to Mexican divers and Northern Baja to American divers. From kelp forests to colorful reefs, this partnership makes it easier than ever to experience the best of both worlds, with the same high standards of safety, service, and unforgettable exploration.
The Gili Shark Conservation Project is an award-winning conservation and data collection program and the first of its kind in the Gili Islands in Indonesia.
Fueled by a passion for shark research, we assisted in the dedication of a unique marine protected area. Working alongside local fisherman, we provided educational opportunities to shifting their perspective on shark finning practices to the importance of ecotourism, ensuring this keystone species’ future.
