Google has launched its ocean application in Google Earth, allowing users to dive into view 3D sections of selected sea bed areas. The feature also marks out marine protected areas and includes information and pictures of places such as Devon's Lundy Island and dive sites of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia and Egyptian Red Sea.

Google Ocean, which is now part of Google Earth, will allow users to watch marine life videos and historical footage, access wreck information and contribute their own photographs. Much of the information featured is conservation-focused. UK charity the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) is one of the partners of Ocean on Google Earth.
