NAFA 2026: Discover Dive Draw at MOUA – Certified Diver Experience

Immerse yourself in a truly unique Great Barrier Reef experience during NAFA 2026 with Discover Dive Draw at the Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA).

Created exclusively for certified divers, this special full-day experience combines scuba diving, creativity and marine conservation at the iconic John Brewer Reef.

Led by MOUA Director, educator and local artist Kerrie Horrocks, participants will explore the world-renowned underwater sculptures while sketching beneath the surface.
