Sea Life Sunshine Coast is an institutional member of the Zoo and Aquarium Association (ZAA). The attraction is a Sea Life Centre owned by Merlin Entertainments, and is globally referred to as Sea Life Sunshine Coast by the firm. It was formerly known as UnderWater World. HistoryUnderWater World officially opened in 1989.[3] Several scenes in the Jackie Chan 1996 film Police Story 4: First Strike were shot in the park,[4] including a scene in the main aquarium. In one of the scenes a tourist family is visible in the reflection on one of the tanks. During the period of Christmas on 2006 UnderWater World had a Giant Squid preserved in a block of ice on display.[5] In July 2013, UnderWater World's owners, Merlin Entertainments, announced that they would be spending $6.5 million on the refurbishment of the facilities. As part of the process, the aquarium was rebranded as a Sea Life Centre and relaunched in December 2013.[1][2][3] Exhibits
A moving walkway in a {{Convert|80|m|sing=on}} shark tunnel under the {{Convert|2500000|l|gal|sing=on}} oceanarium takes visitors past several viewing windows, with fish swimming all around the walkway. The exhibit includes three separate habitats: coral reef, cave and open ocean. Its residents include rays, moray eels, grey nurse sharks, sandbar whalers, whitetip reef sharks, and zebra sharks.[1] In November 2011, the shark tank and moving walkway were closed for an upgrade.[10][11]
