OceanX Malaysia expedition researchers explored deeper mesophotic reefs using ROV surveys and high-resolution seafloor mapping, documenting four previously unknown mesophotic reefs and collecting new data on coral health, biodiversity, and ecosystem structure.

OceanX is a mission to explore the unseen ocean, map uncharted areas of the world, observe rare deep-sea creatures, pursue scientific and medical breakthroughs, and then bring all of these wonders back to the wider world through cutting-edge media. Check out #OceanXplorers, an epic six-part underwater adventure series releasing Aug 18 on National Geographic, Disney+ and Hulu. This mission will take place aboard the most advanced science and media vessel ever built, OceanXplorer, building on the legacy of OceanX’s current marine research vessel, OceanXplorer. OceanXplorer features state-of-the-art onboard dry and wet marine research labs, cutting-edge media equipment and a top-of-the-line production and media center, manned and autonomous deep-sea submersibles and helicopters and drones. OceanXplorer's filmmaking capabilities have been developed in consultation with filmmaker and ocean explorer James Cameron, and the ship has been designed by Hollywood’s leading studio production engineers.
