The Ocean and Its Wonders…

Welcome to the mysteries of the Ocean Realm.

The sea is a wonderful and magical place. It is a world of light and shadow, full of amazing creatures that stimulates the imagination. Here, beneath the waves, can be found both the beautiful and the bizarre. The coral reef is one of Earth’s most diverse environments. Thousands of unique species inhabit an ecosystem that has been called the rainforest of the sea.

Further down in the depths, lies an eerie world of cold darkness. In an environment with extremes of both temperature and pressure, life actually flourishes; but here, evolution has taken a bizarre turn. Grotesque alien creatures patrol the darkness; illuminating the way with artificial lights produced within their bodies.

Join the Sea and Sky for an amazing look at the creatures that make their home in the world’s coral reef fishes. Dive to the deepest reaches of the world’s oceans, and discover the bizarre alien creatures that live in these dark, and cold places.
