MEET THE CREATORS
Sounds of the Ocean is a project built from our passion for the ocean, film, music and creative storytelling. It evolved naturally over the course of five years while touring through the United States, Costa Rica, the Middle East and Europe.
Our immersive experience is designed to take you on a “deep dive” to better understand what life is like underwater, feel the love in dolphin and whale song and return gently to the surface feeling more connected. Our hope is that you find the experience to be deeply relaxing and supportive of your overall wellbeing.
From this place of building a loving connection with oneself, we believe that we can make small changes in our daily habits to reduce our consumption and live more sustainably in balance with the natural world.​
- Joshua & Elise

MOSI is the intersection of science, technology and innovation in the Tampa Bay region where conversations and learning happen, knowledge is exchanged and new ideas are celebrated. Visitors to MOSI can expect to enjoy over 40,000 square feet of hands-on activities and exhibits, as well as enjoy unique experiences like a Saunder’s Planetarium show or brave the heights of the Skytrails ropes course.
