Our Shark Encounter is a PADI-recognised discovery scuba session, where you’ll learn basic diving techniques from a highly qualified and experienced team – not to mention with our 10-feet Sand Tiger Sharks!

You will also dive with 10ft Nurse Sharks, Blacktip Sharks, two types of Bamboo Sharks, Arabian and Brownbanded, Southern Stingrays, Blackchin Guitar Fish & magnificent aquatic Fish.

Our Shark Encounters are packed to the gills with the following:

  • Full instructions
  • A close-up and cage free diving experience 
  • Full use of our scuba equipment
  • An “I Dived with the Sharks at Blue Planet Aquarium” certificate
  • Free entry for two spectators

We often run dives on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 2pm or 4pm, although this remains subject to change and availability.
