ZHUHAI, China – July 9, 2026 – DIVEVOLK, a global underwater smartphone imaging and livestreaming technology company, today announced that Zhuhai TV used DIVEVOLK SeaLink during the June 8, 2026 World Oceans Day ocean-science livestream from Zhuhai’s Wanshan Islands, helping bring real-time underwater explanation from the Wanshan sea area into a public broadcast and education setting.
The program, held under the theme “Meet the Sea, Protect the Ecology,” presented the Wanshan Islands through a sea-land-air format: aerial views of island coastlines, surface reporting from Guishan Island, and underwater high-definition footage and explanation from the sea area. Local media described the broadcast as Guangdong’s first underwater high-definition science explanation from the Wanshan Islands sea area.
For DIVEVOLK, the key milestone was practical: SeaLink helped a television team move underwater smartphone imagery into a live communication workflow, making the underwater scene available not only to the production team, but also to students, experts and public audiences following the program in real time.
SeaLink Helped Connect the Underwater Scene to the Live Broadcast
Water blocks conventional wireless signals, so a smartphone that works normally on land usually loses stable connectivity once submerged. DIVEVOLK SeaLink is designed to solve that problem for supported workflows by transmitting a smartphone’s underwater video signal to the surface, where it can be used for livestreaming, education, surface collaboration, field documentation and media production.
In the Wanshan World Oceans Day program, Zhuhai TV used SeaLink as part of the live underwater explanation workflow. The underwater feed supported the program’s core goal: allowing viewers to see and understand the marine environment while the explanation was taking place, rather than waiting for post-dive footage.
SeaLink currently supports underwater livestream signal transmission to 30 meters. The SeaTouch underwater housings that carry smartphones in DIVEVOLK’s ecosystem are separately rated for underwater use to 60 meters. For live work, teams plan around the SeaLink transmission range; for still photography or recording beyond that, the housing rating is a separate specification.

A Live Ocean Classroom From Guishan Island
One of the most important parts of the June 8 program was its education design. The livestream connected the main broadcast to an “island education sub-venue” at Guishan Primary School. According to local media, Peng Yalan, a senior engineer from the Ministry of Natural Resources’ Zhuhai Marine Center, guided students through the underwater world using the live feed, while SSI instructor trainer and Macau International Ocean Diving Association vice president Zhang Kai provided underwater explanation from below the surface.
That format matters because marine science often remains abstract for young audiences. Coral protection, marine debris, coastal wetlands and biodiversity become easier to understand when students can watch the underwater scene as the expert explains it. The ocean is no longer only a topic in a classroom; it becomes a live habitat with visible organisms, work methods and conservation responsibilities.
The livestream was also tied to Zhuhai’s broader World Oceans Day public-communication program, including the 4K micro-documentary series Island Speaks to All Living Things. One episode, Coral Whispers, was scheduled for its complete premiere on World Oceans Day, extending the same Wanshan marine-ecology story from live education into documentary storytelling.
Why Wanshan Is an Important Test Case for Ocean Communication
Zhuhai is the city with the largest marine area in the Pearl River Delta and administers an archipelago of 262 islands. The Wanshan Islands, including Guishan, Dong’ao, Wailingding and Miaowan, sit where the Pearl River Estuary meets the South China Sea, making the region a practical test case for island conservation, marine tourism, public education and ecological restoration.
The June 8 livestream focused on the scientific balance between island protection and development. Through drone footage, surface reporting and underwater imagery, the program showed island coastlines, coastal wetlands, marine restoration outcomes and underwater biological resources from multiple angles.
For DIVEVOLK, the Wanshan program demonstrates where underwater livestreaming is heading. A live underwater feed is not only a media effect. It can support public science, remote teaching, marine protected-area communication, field observation, diver-to-surface collaboration and community engagement around local waters.
Quote from DIVEVOLK
“Zhuhai TV’s Wanshan livestream showed exactly why real-time underwater video matters,” said DIVEVOLK Marketing & Communications. “When the underwater scene can enter a broadcast, a classroom and an expert explanation at the same time, ocean science becomes much easier for the public to understand.”
“SeaLink was built to shorten the distance between underwater work and the people who need to see it. In Wanshan, that meant helping a local ocean story move from below the surface into a live public-education format.”
CCTV Coverage Added National Attention
The Wanshan Islands also received national news attention during the same World Oceans Day window. CCTV-13’s News Live Room reported on Zhuhai-Macau cooperation in marine ecological protection, including coral monitoring, diver-led underwater cleanup, beach protection and cross-border marine science education. CCTV-13’s Morning News separately reported on young people returning to Guishan Island as local infrastructure, tourism and community life improve.
For DIVEVOLK, that national coverage reinforces the importance of the same theme highlighted by Zhuhai TV’s livestream: Wanshan is becoming a visible public example of how island communities, divers, scientists, educators and media teams can work together to make ocean protection more understandable.
