Friday, January 23, 2026 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
An underwater world surrounds you as you meet some of the ocean’s strangest and most spectacular creatures. Secrets of the Sea takes you face-to-face with an astonishing array of marine critters as you discover the fascinating ways they interact with each other, how they depend on one another for survival and the importance of marine biodiversity to keeping our oceans healthy. Filmed in more than 15 spectacular locations around the world – from the Philippines, Mexico and Tahiti to Indonesia, the Galapagos, Hawaii, California and more – Secrets of the Sea reveals the many wonders of our ocean like only the OMNIMAX® Theater can.
