In a crash of waves, descend into Wild Reef and get a diver’s-eye view of a diverse marine metropolis.

Get as close as you want to sharks. Explore underwater gardens of iridescent corals and — yes — garden eels. Wander through a lagoon and mangrove forest and visit a fishing village where residents saved their reef from destruction — all in this award-winning exhibit.
