Dive into the ocean and discover who lives there -- from a deep sea octopus to humpback whales. Explore lost shipwrecks, dive and surf spots, the ocean's deepest trench, and the latest discoveries of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). After interacting with the highlight tours below, download Google Earth 5 to explore further.

"Anyone can be a desktop Cousteau," writes Googler Jenifer Austin Foulkes. The Google Earth browser plugin allows users to browse through a selection of highlighted tours. Users of Google Earth 5 can go on to explore more, downloading tours and viewing photos and videos by checking the Ocean folder in the left-hand layers panel.

National Geographic ocean explorer Sylvia Earle narrates the highlights tour. The smattering of categories in the plugin-enabled tours include research discoveries, shipwrecks, dive spots, surf spots, underwater terrain and the Great Lakes. The tours are dotted with YouTube videos and more information from carefully curated websites.
