Immerse Underwater Safari: Save our planet on an underwater safari! | Wefunder
Our oceans represent 71% of the Earth's surface area and 99.9% of our planet by volume. Yet, according to NASA's Gene Feldman, humans know more about outer space than our own planet's oceans. As featured in the New York Times, we set out to raise marine life awareness, increase ocean access, and clean our oceans
Nothing complicated here.... we will take Fari Islands resort (The Ritz Carlton, Patina, & Capella Maldives) guests on underwater safaris in our four passenger state-of-the-art submersible. In fact, the beauty of this business is its simplicity. The Maldives has a "one resort, one island" model meaning each island is a remote resort destination that is perfect for traveling in this COVID-19 era. The Maldives model is also perfect for our operations as resort activities are limited to each hotel's offerings. There are no downtowns or museums on these remote islands. Enter Immerse Underwater Safari
We will have exclusive access to each Fari Islands resort guests providing them with a once-in-a-lifetime experience that benefits our planet. Fari islands resorts offer rooms from $1,350 - $34,000 per night (as of May 2021 launch). Our forecasted $550 safari (per person) is favorably priced compared to ~$900 scuba diving certifications offered at comparable 5-star resorts. We will provide a relatively affordable, life changing experience for our guests all while saving our planet. Our forecasted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization) margins range between 55-69% over the next ten years. Our offerings include:

We have secured 10-year agreements to service the largest and most influential hospitality companies in the world; Marriott International and Capella Hotel Group. We are working to secure several more agreements with neighboring resorts. We are raising capital to launch and maintain the business for the long-term (see uses section for breakdown)
Since our business is purpose driven, the benefits compound exponentially with greater ridership. We further increase marine life awareness, remove more ocean pollution, provide more data for researchers, and grant subsea access to more people. Thus, our strategy is to expand our services to resorts throughout the Maldives
Immerse Underwater Safari will target 5-star resorts throughout the Maldives to provide this unbelievable experience. As we look to expand to other Atolls (island clusters), we will purchase new equipment to independently service these resorts. We anticipate this expansion to be funded with retained earnings
We are using our ultra-rare submersible to take guests in the Maldives on Underwater Safaris. We are committed to combating the challenges facing marine life (coral bleaching, invasive species, pollution, over fishing etc…). It is our belief that the fight starts with getting people’s attention. Rather than carrying out our objective in a somber tone, we are focused on celebrating all marine life has to offer
Additionally, exploring the world's last frontier has been limited by one's physical conditioning, age, and certifications. We set out to make the ocean accessible to all
We secured our ultra-rare submersible for our mission based underwater safari experience. Next, we sought out like-minded partners to bring this never witnessed before adventure to life
The results of all our efforts is Immerse Underwater Safari! We have partnered with three world-class hospitality companies, The Ritz Carlton, Capella, and Patina. This is just the begininning as we are seeking out many more partnerships throughout the Maldives to execute our business plan. We are set to launch in May 2021 as part of the world-renowned Fari Islands hospitality development. Every underwater safari will remove plastics from our oceans & contribute oceanic data to our research partners
Our underwater safaris will evoke emotion for the often-forgotten marine life. There are no physical fitness limitations, age restrictions, nor certifications needed to journey down to 650 feet. We are confident the humans we share our journey with will leave equipped with a mindset necessary to help marine life in a manner commensurate with their capabilities
