What to expectWhat to Expect

You'll begin the Shark dive experience with a tunnel tour where you are introduced to the sharks from a distance. From here you'll learn first hand about the sharks and their habitat and can ask questions before your heart pounding aquatic adventure begins.

After some time spent in the classroom learning about scuba equipment and safety requirements, divers then gear up in wetsuits and weight belts. It's time to psych up and enter the dive training pool adjacent to the 5,000,000 litre tank where the sharks await. Here divers learn how to breathe underwater with personalised tuition from our dive instructors.

Once the instructors see that you are comfortable using the equipment in the water, the time is right to enter the main shark tank and get up close with Jaws and his friendly pals. The tank contains an endless number of creatures that are very keen to meet you with four different species of sharks including seven adult and one juvenile Grey Nurse Shark. You will also encounter giant turtles and the marine life of Sydney Harbour and lots more during your adventure.

Amazing! Such a fantastic experience. The whole thing was so easy and I was taken care of really well. Any questions/worries I had were dealt with professionally and quickly. I would definately do it again and now have a few ideas for presents for family and friends.

At first it was kinda of scary when i saw the sharks and everything for the first time but once i met the instructor (experienced divers) and got into the water it wasnt that scary but it was a really great experience and it was probably even better for me cause i got to do it with my best friend. but i think its something everyone should do. id definately do it again. the people were great and i had heaps of fun swimming with sharks was an amazing experience :)

The experience was amazing. It was wonderful to be in tank with wonderful sea creatures swimming around you. It is a shame that the tank was a little on the small side as it would of been wonderful to be able to swim around
