This work tells the story of French biologist Aronnax traveling in the depths of the ocean. This happened in 1866, when a large monster believed to be a narwhal was discovered at sea. He accepted the invitation to join the hunt. Unfortunately, he fell into the water and swam on the monster's back during the hunt. In fact, this monster is not a narwhal, but a diving boat with a wonderful structure. The diving boat was secretly built by Captain Nemo on a desert island in the ocean. It has a strong hull and uses the ocean to generate electricity. Captain Nemo invites Aronas to travel to the bottom of the sea. They set out from the Pacific Ocean, passed through coral islands, the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and entered the Atlantic Ocean. They saw many rare marine animals and plants and strange scenes in the water. They also experienced many dangers such as stranding, siege by natives, fighting with sharks, road closures by icebergs, and octopus attacks. Finally, when the diving boat arrived at the coast of Norway, Aronas left without saying goodbye and told the world the secrets of the seabed he knew.
