Ocean Oasis, originally released as a giant-screen film in IMAX theaters, is a fascinating journey into the bountiful seas and pristine deserts of two remarkably different, but inextricably linked worlds - Mexico's Sea of Cortés and the Baja California desert.

Two Worlds - One Paradise

A few, very special places in the world are such havens for so many living creatures. Animals from near and far are drawn there to seek resources and shelter. Because these places are rare, we call them oases. Ocean Oasis is visually stunning and provocative, with its compelling message: this little-known region is a treasure worth preserving.

Glide side-by-side with a graceful giant manta ray as it arches and swoops through water sparkling under the hot Baja California sun. Witness the pageant of migrating whales, the elaborate tango of courting terns, the battles of lumbering elephant seals.

Fly over sweeping vistas of snow-capped mountains, vast deserts, palm oases, and mangrove swamps - then plunge into astonishing underwater sequences of rarely seen marine life.

In the making of this extraordinary film, a team of gifted and dedicated scientists explored unknown territories, sometimes at great personal risk. They trekked, flew, and dove to unveil intriguing secrets of isolated areas on land, in the air, and beneath the sea. Now audiences who would never otherwise see these remote wilderness areas can experience their captivating beauty and elusive wildlife.

What powerful geologic forces collided to carve out this unique region? What drives the strong currents that make this ocean so unusually rich in nutrients? How does life thrive in a seemingly barren landscape? Ocean Oasis mesmerizes us with revealing and memorable scenes that explore these mysteries.
