Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. (AMEX:OMR), a leader in the field
of deep-ocean shipwreck exploration, announced today that it will
re-open Odyssey's Shipwreck & Treasure Adventure in New
Orleans, on Wednesday, February 15, 2006. After a successful Grand
Opening on August 27, 2005, Odyssey closed the attraction as a
result of Hurricane Katrina. "We're thrilled to announce our return
to New Orleans. When we originally opened in August 2005, the city
warmly welcomed us and it remains a perfect location for Odyssey's
first attraction. New Orleans played a significant role in the
history of the SS Republic, our first major deep-ocean
archaeological recovery, and we believe the city's tourism market
will be an important customer base and learning model for future
attractions," said Greg Stemm, Odyssey Marine Exploration's
co-founder. Odyssey's Shipwreck & Treasure Adventure appeals to
the universal fascination with shipwrecks and sunken treasure. The
attraction reveals the compelling stories behind some of the
world's most famous shipwrecks, their treasure and historical
artifacts, and it allows visitors to interactively experience the
adventure and excitement of deep-ocean shipwreck exploration
through multiple hands-on exhibits. Odyssey's Shipwreck &
Treasure Adventure appeals to both adults and children and to
advanced or amateur ocean explorers alike. Odyssey's Shipwreck
& Treasure Adventure's initial hours of operation will be
Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Cost is $13.95 for
adults and $8.95 for children ages 4-12. Annual passes will be
available for $28 for adults and $18 for children. For more
