There are many reasons why we are building the SeaPods. Sustainable living, restoring the ecosystem, making the oceans habitable, and more. One of the most rewarding things and one of our biggest goals is to deliver the beautiful views that you can see in this short video.Grant is on the Pod and enjoying the view […]
Here at Ocean Builders, we love technology and innovation, and cryptocurrencies are no exception to that. While we think crypto is great, and probably the way of the future, we also accept that fiat currency isn’t going anywhere any time soon. Cryptocurrencies are kept in a digital wallet but fiat, or good old cold hard […]
April 8th was a special day for everyone here at Ocean Builders as we celebrated our CEO Grant hitting the Big 5-0. We had a small celebration here in Panama for his birthday. The celebration included a traditional Panamanian show with local performers giving us a performance that included traditional music and dances. We had […]
Similar to our new electric surfboard, here we have Grant walking us through the details of our new electric hydrofoil which is somewhat similar to the surfboard, but has some notable differences.The surfboard simply moves across the surface of the water just like any normal watercraft. The hydrofoil is different because it has a fin […]
What’s the point of living on the water if you don’t take the time to enjoy it? Especially in a floating home like the SeaPod, you will have easy access to the sea for things like paddleboarding, kayaking, or swimming. For those who want to add a little bit of speed to their water activities, […]
Grant recently went on a hike through the jungle here in Panama to scout out some potential locations for our GreenPod which will essentially be a SeaPod that is on land. We know that not everyone wants to live on the water and we feel that our design has a ton of benefits over traditional […]
Here we have a short drone tour that shows where we will be deploying the first SeaPods here in Linton Bay, Panama. As you can see, this is a picturesque little corner of the world that we feel is a perfect place to live. From the deep blue water to the lush green mountains in […]
It’s not often Grant takes a day to get out of the factory, but Panana has a great deal to offer outside of the Ocean Builders HQ. While Ocean Builders are working on the Atlantic side of Panama, the Pearl Islands or located on the Pacific side, to the South-West of the country.Grant didn’t miss […]

We don’t want the SeaPod to be just a home, we want it to be an experience. With so many health benefits of living on the water, we felt that having our own yoga mats available will make it easier and more comfortable to enjoy the ocean breeze while practicing yoga.Whether it be on the […]

As the Seapod project has gone through its different phases of design and development, a lot of ideas have been considered, and an underwater room is one that has recently resurfaced. The Seapod design includes a long steel spar that supports the housing pod. But here at Ocean Builders, waste is not a welcome concept.The […]
Grant has finished up his day in the water and is exploring a beautiful, tiny island. The boat is moored up, the ocean laps gently on the sands of the island. The hammocks, palm trees and volleyball net only make the place more idyllic. Panama is well known for its amazing snorkelling and diving. From […]
Grant’s day of adventure has led him into an area in the San Blas that is called a “Natural Bath” due to the warm, shallow, and calm waters. The water is only about waist deep so Grant can easily stand here with his toes in the sand.One of the coolest things about this tropical water […]
Continuing on Grant’s day of exploration, we are back from the islands in San Blas, Panama. Grant is suited up and has his snorkeling equipment ready to go swimming with some of the local marine life, but before he jumps in, he has another update for us.One of the coolest things about not only being […]
Recently on a very rare day off, Grant was able to take the boat out and do a little bit of exploring here in Panama. About 60 kilometers from the factory, he spent the day in the San Blas area which is made up of more than 300 small islands in the Caribbean Sea just […]

The crew is working hard, and we can see them here finishing up after a long and productive day, led by the resident pup. As progress continues in so many areas, it feels great to be able to show our team clocking off for the day. In our video, you can really begin to appreciate […]
We felt that documenting the monumental work that we have been doing here at Ocean Builders was very important. In conjunction with these blog posts and videos that we have been making, we also set up a timelapse camera to make a hands-off video showing some of our progress.The first project that we are using […]
We truly think that the work that we are doing here at Ocean Builders will change the way the world looks at housing forever. With this idea being so unique, we felt that it was very important to document the process and keep everyone updated during every step. To help with the media side of […]
Here we have some footage from our home marina here in Panama. We needed to move one of our TriPod bases to a different part of the marina so we used that as a chance to take it for a spin and see what it would be like in the open water. In the footage, […]
We have been working on some new products that we think will be great additions to the lifestyle of living in the water that you will get with the SeaPod.

Why are we creating an underwater room?
Grant Romundt Environmental, Lifestyle
Underwater habitats, also known as underwater stations, submarines, or in our case, the underwater room, provide a unique and valuable opportunity for scientists and researchers to study marine life and the ocean environment from a controlled setting. These habitats allow for extended stays underwater and enable more in-depth and prolonged research than would be possible […]
