Celebrating 'Life Below Water'

Now in its 32nd year, our Ocean Festival celebrates our 5 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 Underwater Photography Competition Exhibition, marine talks, Meet the Friends of Cabbage Tree Bay, Rock Platform Rambles, Dive for Debris, plus much more!

Dive into a week of events, encounters and experiences to celebrate our love of the ocean.
