About Us

It is the vision and determined focus of Global Oceanic Designs to assist in the creation of the world’s first Underwater City. The Company intends to offer its suite of technologies to those already building this planet in order to help shift the planetary focus away from convenience and toward a new era of abundance, represented by extending human habitation to include below, on the surface, and above the world’s oceans, lakes and rivers.
Global Oceanic Designs, Inc. exploded onto the scene in July of 2012 and acquired the intellectual property related to its current suite of technologies. Global immediately engaged in consulting contracts with several key partners that possess the determination, abilities and resources to bridge the gap between Global’s vision and reality. A unique team has committed itself to this mission.
