Dive into an adventure in the earth’s oceans. Explore in your high-tech submarine fascinating spots like the Galapagos, the Arctic, Cozumel island or the WW2 German battlecruiser Scharnhorst. Swim with majestic whales, sharks and sea turtles. Solve quests using your upgradeable tools: Cut with the laser to free jailed whales or entangled turtles, use the scanner for details on over 100 species, use the welder to repair subsea cables and the beam grabber to collect pieces of the infamous nuclear submarine Kursk. If you finish a level its state changes and you get new quests.
And take real action! You can support the work of established NGOs: Buy the Green Pack from PlanetPlay (featured Baywatch' David Hasselhoff, Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato) and support certified conservation projects. Adopt dolphins and whales and support the Whale and Dolphin Conservation WDC directly.
The quests are based on real ocean regions, discover real sunken submarines, WW2 battleship wrecks, Deep Sea creatures or Caribbean coral reefs. You encounter all of the giants and living wonders of the oceans from sharks, to dolphins, sea turtles and the blue whale. Dive where no one has gone before to reveal the last mysteries of the oceans.

This game opens with an incredible tutorial that teaches you how to pilot your ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) submarine — and it feels like learning to drive a high-tech, underwater mech. The control scheme is brilliantly designed, using the Meta controllers in intuitive and clever ways (changing arms mid-mission is especially satisfying). You’ll quickly find yourself diving, scanning, and navigating like a true expert.
What sets The Great Ocean apart is the variety of environments and missions — from the Galápagos and Cozumel reefs to the icy Arctic and eerie sunken wrecks. You can stick to the main story missions or take on side quests to earn extra XP, which adds welcome freedom and replayability.
This isn’t just another underwater exploration game — it’s a rich, purposeful experience with heart. The studio has partnered with real NGOs and infused the game with authentic environmental impact. Whether you're cleaning up illegal oil dumps, scanning coral, or rescuing marine life, you’re reminded that your role matters.
And that's what truly makes this game special: it blends entertainment, education, and action in a way that feels meaningful and impactful. A beautiful example of how VR can be immersive, fun, and thought-provoking — all at once.
🎮 A must-have for players looking for depth — both figuratively and literally. 🐠🌍
love the style I just wish for more areas like the deep ocean and maybe a prehistoric
This is an updated review. Now that I got some bugs worked out after a reinstall and some help from the devs I can give a proper review. The Great Ocean is a mix of education and entertainment that teaches you about the ocean, animals, and how we can care for sealife. Taking a dive in the various areas and learning about the fish and submersed sites around the world is intriguing. While th game is a little rough in terms of detail and visuals, the animals presented look amazing. I was awestruck the few times that turtles, dolphins, whales, and other creatures swam past my submarine. This game is really cool and can be used as an educational tool for students as well as entertaining them. Cheers to the devs and thanks for getting back to me with my questions earlier.
I like it so much to operate the submarine to dive through the different locations and explore the environment... like all the tasks and additional informations in the menus to leran about the places...
The game has a lot of potential. I love exploring the ocean. I understand it's a very early version, But why isn't the progress saved? Every time I have to start the game from the beginning. Please don't abandon the development!
I mean come on a dollar or two for this .
... a joke right lol no it most definitely is and the graphics are freaking next level. If your into what's lurking in our oceans THIS IS 👐 DOWN FOR YOU. NUFF SAID LOL
