Deep Oceans
Explore the deep, deep ocean without having to venture deep, deep down.
Overview
Delving into the mysterious deep blue is a journey not all of us can take. It takes time, licences, money and, most of all, guts. If you want to know what it's like in the deep, deep ocean but don't actually want to venture deep, deep down, then the Australian Museum has the perfect exhibition for you. Deep Oceans explores and unveils the secrets of the world's largest habitat and gets up close to the extraordinary creatures it offers.
Great for group hangs, taking your cousins out or just going on a solo expedition, Deep Oceans has a lot going on. Escaping anglerfish (like in Finding Nemo) seeing glow-in-the-dark sea creatures or a fathead found more than 1000m deep in the Tasman Sea. Even getting to look inside a Bathysphere replica, the first submersible to descend beyond light. Feel what it's like to experience enormous water pressure at deep ocean depths and play chicken with a five-metre model of a Giant Squid, the largest invertebrate on Earth.
