Celebrating 'Life Below Water' 

Our Ocean Festival celebrates our five marine protected areas, the biodiversity below the water and on our rock platforms - our marine flora, fauna and mega fauna.

Our oceans cover 80% of our planet, generates 50% of the oxygen we breathe and absorb 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions - we need to keep our oceans healthy.

Events include the 4th Underwater 2024 Photography Competition, Rock Platform Rambles, Dive for Debris, Beach Clean-ups, Guided Snorkel Tours, SUP Safaris, Ocean walks and science talks plus much more!

Dive in for seven days of events, encounters and experiences to celebrate our love of the ocean. 

1 December - 8 December.
