For marine excursion operators

Unquestionable proof of sighting.

Your guests already film every dive. OceanLum turns that footage into verified, geo-tagged records of the encounters your boat delivers — proof of quality no listing photo can match, and no competitor can fake.

What you gain Request access
Why OceanLum

Make your tour quality visible.

You run the better routes, spend longer in the water, and find the animals — but on a booking page, none of that shows. OceanLum builds a historic visual log of every excursion: which animals were encountered, where, and when — verified from your guests' own footage. Prospective guests browse a track record instead of a brochure, and book with confidence, directly with you.

OCEANLUM FLEET PORTAL · MALDIVES
Benefits you and your guests

Every trip earns twice: once at sea, once online.

01

80% less media editing for your guests

Hours of raw footage become a finished highlight reel automatically. Guests skip the evenings of scrubbing empty blue water — and go home with their best moments ready to share.

02

A growing media library, owned by you

Every excursion adds verified sighting records and striking guest footage to your catalogue — proof of sighting and rights-cleared marketing material, collected without lifting a finger.

03

More direct sales

A verifiable encounter history is the credibility that converts. Win bookings on your own site and keep the 20–25% you currently hand to booking platforms.

04

Guests who come back — and talk

A personal, science-grade record of the animals they met is a keepsake no other operator offers. It drives reviews, referrals and repeat trips.

Technology

We don't just see a manta ray.
We know which one.

Reef manta ray identified by its unique ventral spot pattern
ID MV-0417 · REEF MANTA 05°58′N 072°56′E · 26m LAST SEEN 14 MO AGO · SAME REEF

Every manta's ventral spot pattern is unique — a natural fingerprint. OceanLum AI reads it, matches it against every animal in the catalogue, and confirms the individual. That is what makes a sighting provable rather than claimed.

  • 01Individual fingerprinting — spot patterns, scarring and fin geometry identify the animal, not just the species.
  • 02Geo-tagged records — every identification is stamped with location, depth and time.
  • 03Automatic highlights — the seconds that matter, cut from hours of footage.
  • 04Colour correction — underwater blue-cast removed, footage restored to true colour.
  • 05And many more — species catalogues, encounter statistics, re-sighting alerts, guest delivery.
Sustainability — SDG 14 · Life Below Water

An animal that is seen is worth more than an animal that is caught.

A caught animal is sold once. An identified animal earns for its ecosystem — and for you — every time it is seen. By making the tourism value of living animals visible and verifiable, OceanLum helps make protecting the ocean the profitable choice.
