You can be one of the very first to have a truly unique underwater ocean experience with REV Ocean. In collaboration with TV-Aksjonen’s 2020 Campaign “ET HAV AV MULIGHETER” (an ocean of possibilities) REV Ocean has donated a dive in the 7500/3 Triton submarine up for auction. The money raised from the auction will support the fight against plastic pollution in the ocean.

“We are thrilled Project Rev Ocean chose to add a Triton 7500/3 submersible to the vast arsenal of subsea tools and equipment on their entirely unique and groundbreaking vessel. The capacity to visit such extreme depths and see things not possible any other way will dramatically enhance the experience of being aboard and create more ocean advocates. Project Rev Ocean is a once in a lifetime opportunity and we are honored to be a part of their their vision,” said Triton President Patrick Lahey.
The Triton 7500/3 will be the deepest diving acrylic pressure hull equipped submersible ever conceived and is capable of diving to 7,500 feet or 2,286 meters with three people aboard. The revolutionary Triton 7500/3 features a transparent acrylic sphere as the pressure hull, which provides occupants with an immersive and completely unobstructed view of their surroundings while keeping them safe and comfortable at one atmosphere regardless of the diving depth. The Triton 7500/3 acrylic sphere is made using proprietary technology pioneered by Triton’s exclusive acrylic manufacturing partners, which results in a finished material that is stronger, clearer and superior to anything previously made.
“I have dived with Triton subs on numerous expeditions and they provide unique platforms for visiting the ocean and viewing seascapes in a way that is not possible with other deep diving equipment. The new Triton 7500/3 will enable REV Ocean scientists to visit vulnerable marine ecosystems as well as reach the most productive zones of seamounts and other features such as deep-sea canyons and hydrothermal vents.” REV Ocean Science Director Alex Rogers.
REV Ocean will offer the winner the opportunity to join the Triton submarine and dive into the underwater world in Svalbard (in a fjord near Longyearbyen, maximum depth 100 meters). Together with a REV Ocean researcher, you will be able to observe some of the unique life in the Arctic, and at the same time try to identify areas where there may be plastic or other pollution, so that it can later be retrieved and disposed of correctly. The trip will be completed when the submarine is completed, which is in 2022. The exact time for completion is agreed between the contact person in REV Ocean and the bid winner. REV Ocean pays for flights from the nearest airport and one night at a hotel in Longyearbyen.
The auction is open until October 18th, 2020 at 22:11.

ET HAV AV MULIGHETER CAMPAIGN
As part of ensuring this, NRK’s fundraising council has among the requirements that the organization is approved by the Fundraising Control. Read the case from the Collection Control here.
This year’s TV campaign will fight plastic in the sea by establishing and improving existing waste systems for more than 900,000 people. In collaboration with local people, the authorities and the business community, we will reduce emissions of plastic to rivers and seas by 7,000 tonnes annually. We will collect and recycle rubbish that today ends up in nature, reduce the use of unnecessary plastic and work to ensure that decision-makers commit themselves to achieving WWF’s goal of zero plastic going astray in 2030.
