Through captivating shots of virtual underwater footage, we bring the wonders of our oceans closer to people, many of whom might be witnessing an underwater landscape of coral reefs for the very first time. That is why we use the VR experience as a tool in our outreach awareness programs at primary schools in the wider Shimoni area along the Southern Kenyan coast. These images serve as a bridge to connect people, especially children, to the underwater world and ignite a passion for ocean exploration and conservation. A single image of these reefs can convey more than words or papers ever could. By immersing people in the wonders of coral reefs through virtual reality experiences, we have effectively communicated the threats they face, fostering a deeper understanding of the urgent need to protect these invaluable ecosystems.

The Dutch Flower Foundation has facilitated the first required budget to start the development of the VR-Experience. Currently, the 360 degrees underwater experience is successfully implemented at our awareness outreach program at primary schools in the Shimoni area.
