Underwater Sculptures

These artistic masterpieces are a vibrant addition to the already diverse habitat of Busselton Jetty with each sculpture designed to extend Australia’s largest artificial reef, which has been evolving beneath the Jetty since its construction in 1865. Since it was built, the Jetty’s submerged timber and steel piles have transformed into a thriving ecosystem, hosting a remarkable array of marine invertebrates, and providing a sanctuary for more than 300 marine species!

The Underwater Sculpture Park and Artificial Reef Project contributes to the environmental preservation in Geographe Bay by creating hard seafloor habitats, a rarity in this part of the bay which is primarily dominated by seagrass meadows.

Each underwater sculpture has been purposefully designed to serve as an artificial reef, offering marine life additional habitats within the bay.

A $4 Dive and Snorkel Pass can be obtained online through the link below or in-person from the Interpretive Centre at the base of the Jetty. We require visitors planning on swimming, snorkelling or diving the Underwater Sculpture Park to complete a waiver before entry but if you book online you can pre-fill your waiver to save time. A water-proof Underwater Sculpture Park map is also available from the Interpretive Centre for $15 to help visitors locate all 13 Underwater Sculptures.
