Exploring the inaccessible in VR: Rathlin's seabed and sealife
Event Description

Dive beneath the waves with a submersible VR experience, uncovering the secrets of Rathlin Island’s vibrant seabed and fascinating marine life.

This 45-minute session begins with a short briefing before you embark on a virtual underwater journey, either solo or in small groups of four.

Inspired by real stories from Rathlin’s beach cleanups and recovered ocean debris, the VR adventure lets you explore while helping to clean the seabed from plastics and meeting local sea life.

Perfect for those curious about sustainability and ocean conservation, blending education with entertainment to inspire a greener future. Let's explore, learn, and make a difference—virtually!
