Using immersive activity, this project aims to reveal the hidden heritage (natural and maritime), bringing it to audiences previously not capable of accessing this world beneath the waves.
It will create opportunities for our local communities and new visitors to interact and experience the marine environment, both physically and virtually, to increase appreciation, enjoyment and promote an understanding of our seascape, while enhancing the capacity of existing underwater explorers to appreciate multiple dimensions of their marine heritage.
This project will address both natural and cultural heritage streams, building capacity in each by encouraging divers to find out more about 1) the wrecks they dive and their history and 2) the natural habitats at local dive sites and the species that inhabit them; both encouraging ownership of and advocacy for the marine environment.
