Ocean Sentinels of MOUA

Dive into a Living Gallery Beneath the Sea

Snorkel into an underwater adventure like no other at the Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA) off the coast of Townsville. Located at the stunning John Brewer Reef, Ocean Sentinels is a series of awe-inspiring sculptures that celebrate marine science and the beauty of the Great Barrier Reef.

Designed to look like reef guardians of the sea, each sculpture represents real-life ocean heroes – scientists and conservationists who’ve helped protect our underwater world. As coral grows and marine life makes a home around them, these statues become living artworks that evolve with the reef.

Perfect for curious kids and ocean-loving families, this immersive experience combines snorkelling fun with powerful storytelling and reef education – all in one unforgettable day out on the reef.
