Ocean Oasis



A fascinating Journey into the abundant Mexican Sea of Cortés and the pristine Baja California deserts; a stunning visual feast merging the two remarkably different worlds together.

Gliding along the giant manta ray as it gracefully swoops through the deep blue water, OCEAN OASIS: TWO WORLDS, ONE PARADISE takes viewers from the blizzards of reef-born plankton to the vast silver rivers of mackerel to meet the migrant whales, the spectacular lumbering elephant seals and the unusually rich and colorful marine life.

Adjacent to the sparkling Sea of Cortés is the seemingly barren Baja California deserts composing with the breathtaking snow-capped peaks and boundless deserts.

OCEAN OASIS: TWO WORLDS, ONE PARADISE documents the majestic nature and the mysterious inexhaustible life with a cinematic sophistication and a visual elegance to bring the world a beautiful submarine poetry and the amazing biological and geological diversity of the Baja Peninsula and the Mexican Sea of Cortés.
