Shark Diving Introduction
Never been scuba diving before? Here is your chance to get up close and personal with huge grey nurse sharks, giant stingrays, sea turtles, wobbegong sharks, moray eels and much more. Under a safe and controlled environment with professional dive instructors - this is the opportunity of a lifetime!
Your shark diving session will begin with a total briefing and introduction to scuba diving followed by a safety video. Under the expert supervision of professional dive instructors, you will then be suited up with a wetsuit, mask and all diving equipment and enter the specially designed dive pool to gain confidence and skills for your dive. You will soon discover the thrill of breathing under water for the first time and your heavy equipment becoming weightless. Then it’s on to the real thing. You will enjoy a 30 min tank dive in the oceanarium allowing you to get up close to 4 different species of shark - 7 adult grey nurse sharks (one is the largest in captivity in Australia), 4 different species of rays, 2 species of turtles and a vast array of marine life.
