One of their most ambitious trips is a diving and cultural expedition to Egypt, which includes five days of diving in the Red Sea followed by visits to the pyramids of Giza, Mount Sinai, and other historic landmarks. In 2027, the team plans to travel to Australia’ s Great Barrier Reef.

Each trip is designed to be inclusive for both divers and non-divers. Family members and friends who are not scuba certified are welcome to join, snorkel, or explore nearby attractions.
“ There is no better feeling than being underwater,” Stone said.“ It’ s the closest you can get to going to outer space.”
These trips offer not only a chance to see the world, but also to experience it in a completely new way— floating effortlessly through coral gardens, gliding past sea life, and photographing marine life that most people will only ever see on a screen.
