"Our thanks go above all to Isabella Heigl for the fantastic artistic realisation." All the figures are depicted in the underwater world. Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus have been adapted to the element of water. The Christ Child is in a shell and Mary, the Mother of God, is wearing a coral necklace. As an analogy to the three wise men from the East, the three sharks from the oceans visit the Christ child. The symbol for the Christmas star is a golden starfish and the traditional sheep become "sea sheep", a type of sea snail that looks similar to sheep on land and therefore also bears this name.

Anyone who thinks that this reinterpretation is a trivialisation of the nativity scene is mistaken. On the contrary: it draws on old symbols from Christianity. Pearls as an indication of the preciousness of life, fish as an ancient symbol in Christianity or coral necklaces, which in Italy are regarded as an ancient symbol of protection to protect children from harm. "The students at HTL Vöcklabruck were incredibly creative when it came to choosing the right material for the realisation," Oberschmied emphasises. An anodised metal was used.

Austria's first official underwater cot was christened at the beginning of December 2021 thanks to the commitment of Gregor Bockmüller from the "Under Pressure" diving centre and a diving priest friend. The cot was launched into the water in autumn 2019 as a test and for photo material.

In 2021, the underwater winter attraction was brought to life for divers for the first time. "The underwater nativity scene was launched in time for the first Sunday in Advent at the Dixi - Pfahlbauhaus diving access point in Weyregg and can then be seen until Candlemas in February," says Oberschmied, adding: "I would like to thank everyone involved and hope that the new and unique attraction will be well received by divers!"
