The exhibition is on the first level at Seaworks so is very easily located. The photography is showcased against charcoal backgrounds elegantly showing off natures beauty and the hard work of the photographers.

Photographs are both colour and black and white and also include technical details on exposure, camera and lenses used by the photographer. For enthusiasts it is interesting to note the high incidence of mirrorless cameras and also that even with full frame cameras image quality is limited in under water photography.

The photography is quite varied with environmental themes covered as well as pure beauty and drama that scale and darkness provide in underwater photography and the vastness of the oceans.

Fees

Fees apply and please note the seemingly exhorbitant booking fee of 9% that is added to the initial ticket price.

  • Adult: $20 plus $1.80 booking fee
  • Concession: $15 plus $1.35 booking fee
  • Child (4-15): $12 plus $1.08 booking fee

Note: It is impossible to avoid the booking fee as the venue does not accept cash. This means the $20 price for an adult is impossible to achieve. Rocking up and expecting to pay $40 for two adults and finding it has suddenly escalated to $43.60 is not a pleasant experience. At least you are forewarned unlike myself.

Location

Seaworks: is located at 82 Nelson Pl, Williamstown VIC 3016.



In A Nutshell

The photography is generally fantastic, the environmental aspect is thought-provoking without being too heavy handed and the exhibition is really well laid out. The video is also really good to watch.


Enjoy some breathtaking photography, the drama and vastness of the oceans all without having to drive into the city!

I just wish the 9% booking fee could somehow be reduced even if they went to an alternative provider. It just seems a bit steep especially when they do not permit paying in cash.
