DIVE INTO GREATNESS: A SUCCESSFUL FUSION OF OLYMPIC ATHLETES, ART, AND CONSERVATION FOR THE GREAT BARRIER REEF Date: 31st May 2024 The Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA) and Artistic Swimming Australia (ASA) are thrilled to announce the successful completion of the “Dive into Greatness“, a remarkable fusion of athleticism, artistry, and conservation aimed at raising awareness for the Great Barrier Reef and corals around the world in the lead up to World Oceans Day (June 8). Event Highlights: The event featured a breathtaking artistic swimming performance by the Australian Olympic Team, who showcased their Paris Olympics routine in front of MOUA’s stunning underwater art on John Brewer Reef in the Coral See. This unique collaboration serves as a powerful visual reminder of the beauty and importance of the Great Barrier Reef – the world's largest coral reef system and Australia’s national treasure. Support for MOUA's Small Changes Campaign: The Olympic team proudly supports MOUA's #SmallChanges campaign, which emphasises that while the Great Barrier Ree and corals around the world are in trouble, they are also resilient and worth protecting. Each of us can help fight climate change and protect the Great Barrier Reef by making just a few #SmallChanges to our everyday lives. The stunning coral growth on the museum’s underwater art is living proof of the reef’s resilience, and the support of the Australian Olympic Team is a timely reminder of the amazing things we can achieve if we work together as a team. We invite everyone to come and experience the reef, learn about this natural wonder, and take collective action by making some #SmallChanges to our daily routines.
