If clients ever thought they they'd like to try scuba diving but wondered exactly what the experience below water would reveal, Royal Caribbean International has a great option.
From June 21 to June 25, the cruise line's Snapchat channel will immerse viewers in a one of-a-kind underwater adventure, thanks to a custom-designed scuba mask dubbed “SeaSeekers.”
The mask was custom engineered by the cruise line for use with Snapchat Spectacles. It allows the wearer to snap while underwater and will give those above the surface a unique perspective into the intriguing underwater world of marine life.
