Underwater Australia is the world's first Underwater Contemporary Art Gallery.

"Underwater art is entering an exciting new era. The explosive growth of underwater cameras, and the ever increasing popularity of diving, has forced the pioneers of underwater photography and painting to move their art to a deeper less literal level.

What has emerged is very exciting work that has moved from simply conveying the views from below the surface, to work that captures the quintessential beauty and serenity of life underwater."

Underwater Australia was established to promote this groundbreaking new work.

While most artists struggle to find original inspiration, underwater artists have an almost unlimed source - which is why underwater contemporary art is positioned to be one of the most exciting and original areas of art in the years to come."
