You know the step where the water goes over your head. Now hang that coast on your wall, the sea floor under it drawn in and the spot where you stood marked.
A code for one print of the coast they choose, from $100. They set the pin where they stood.
Open one to read its figures and order it, or draw your own.
Monterey Bay in each one, from the same grid. Point at a style to see it up close, at the print's own pixels.
Every depth is read from NOAA's public grid when you order, and the margin names the day.
Paper prints leave the printer in about two working days, canvas in about five.
Send a photo within 30 days of delivery and the printer makes it again.
The printer's own charge, quoted in the studio before you pay.
Each room is a generated picture. The print on its wall is our real drawing of Monterey Bay, set at true scale beside a person of known height. Choose one and the studio opens at that size.

Divers talk about the lip and the wall below it. The Drop is that wall as a print: the section from your pin straight out to sea, the shelf edge marked where the floor passes 200 m, the depth stood up so the wall reads from across the room.
Shown with sample words, 60 × 40 inches at its largest.
No satellite sees the floor past the shallows. So the Satellite style lays the land from a real pass and draws the sea from the depth grid under it, with the pass's source and date in the margin and any cloud it caught left in.
Brownson Deep, at the bottom of the Puerto Rico Trench, is published at 8,378 m by Bongiovanni. Our grid reads 8,516 m there, inside the 251 m tolerance, and the print of the coast above it sets the two figures side by side.
The tone you choose colours the sea and your pin: one of fourteen, from Blood Red to Black. Each style offers only the ones that hold 3:1 contrast on its ground.
A dive shop sells the wall under the boat. A surf school sells the reef the wave breaks on. A yacht club keeps the passage its members race. The Coast prints your stretch with your shop's pin on it, and The Drop prints the wall your boat ties up over.
Painted Deep is a studio of the Painted family, and we read NOAA's public grid again for every order. In Monterey Bay's frame, 85% of the floor was swept by a ship's multibeam sonar, and the sheet prints that share.
Most of the sea floor has never been swept by a ship. Outside the survey tracks our grid is a model from satellite gravity and older soundings, so every sheet says how much of its frame was measured, and the method page prints each named deep where our reading misses the published depth.
Public grids and open data, each credited in the margin of every print that uses it. Every source.

Each named deep's published depth against our grid's reading, with every miss and its reason.
NOAA's DEM global mosaic, for every frame. In a spot frame up to 400 km across, GMRT's ship multibeam is laid over it wherever a ship has swept the floor, and ETOPO 2022 stands in if the mosaic doesn't answer. The method page has the detail.
We checked twenty named deeps before the first print was sold: 13 land within 3% or 150 m of the depth their surveyors published. Outside the survey tracks the grid is a model, and every sheet prints how much of its frame a ship has swept.
No. Every sheet prints "Not for navigation" in its margin, and it means it. Take a current chart from your hydrographic office.
Only the land is: a real pass from Sentinel-2, the USDA's aerial survey or NASA, with its source and date in the margin. The sea is drawn from the depth grid, because no satellite sees the floor past the shallows.
Up to 40 × 60 inches on art paper, canvas or float-framed canvas, and 40 × 40 square. Find Your Size hangs each tall sheet in a room at true scale, beside a person of known height.

Draw the water you know best. We hope the sheet shows you something under it you never saw from the beach.
