Byron Underwater Festival

Underwater Festival - September 2011

Byron Bay is one of the most beautiful holiday destinations in Australia, however not many people realise what beauty lies beneath the water’s surface or that Julian Rocks is one of Australia’s top 10 dive sites.

So join us as we dive in, explore and discover Cape Byron Marine Park.

The festival is aimed at everyone wishing to experience our marine environment for themselves. Participate - whether you want to learn more about it, dive it, snorkel it, kayak it … or even paint it.
