Looking for a unique Birthday present for the junior explorer in your life? Why not give them the chance to get face to fin with some of the coolest creatures in the ocean?
At Blue Planet Aquarium, we have special kid-sized scuba gear, allowing children to have an up-close experience with our amazing sharks!
Your dinky diver will head, completely supervised, to the reef section of the Ocean tank for the once in a lifetime experience of diving with lifetime experience of diving with our 5ft Black Tip Reef Sharks!
You will also encounter Port Jackson Sharks, Zebra Bullhead Shark, Arabian and Brownbanded Bamboo Sharks, Southern Stingrays, Moray Eels, Wobblegong Sharks and a variety of tropical fish,
Our underwater bridge platform means junior dives will take place at a safe depth of two metres. You’ll be able to see their dive with a birds eye view on the tank’s surface, or in our aqua tunnel – don’t worry though, you’ll remain on dry land throughout!
Junior shark encounter experiences are packed to the gills with the following:
- Full instructions and expert supervision
- Full use of a special children’s scuba kit
- Free entry for an accompanying spectating adult
- Guaranteed close-up shark encounters
