  The way it is set-up, you will first tour and explore the Aquarium through the view of the Acrylic Panel. The sight of this Aquarium instantly impresses all the tourists standing nearby taking pictures of such wonderful beauty. Only barrier between you and the sand sharks is this acrylic panel.

  The cage snorkelling activity is just outrageously exciting and you can share the memory with four friends as the cage allows up to 4 persons. In order to take part in this activity you must wear snorkelling equipment; therefore the age requirement is 10 years of age and over. Those interested will dive into another world while inside a closed cage. Keep your fingers and hands inside!

  Are you ready for this activity? For this activity you need courage, as it is called Shark Dive. Just picture coming face-to-face with one of the deadliest animal known to human kind. You dive right into the 10-million litre tank, and best thing is you do not need to be an expert diver or swimmer. There is also an age requirement of 10 years of age or older.
