Even experienced divers rarely encounter sharks and a 2.5 m long conger eel, but now is your chance in our 1.5 million litre Oceanarium! Disappear into shoals of garfish, mackerel, discover brill, cod and beluga sturgeon, find a ray on the sandy seabed and give our four species of sharks a high-five!
The dive starts with a briefing, where you will hear all about the different types of fish and about how to act, when diving with the animals. A diving instructor is in the water with you so all you have to do is enjoy the experience!
A dive typically lasts 20 minutes and in total, a trial dive lasts 1½ hours inclusive showering and changing, the briefing and an equipment run through. When you are back on dry land, you will receive a diploma to prove you have dived in the Oceanarium.
If you are already a certified diver, you can also book a dive in the Oceanarium and put an extraordinary dive in your logbook!
The diving instructor does not usually dive with certified divers in the Oceanarium, so a dive requires a minimum of two certified divers. So share this unbelievable experience with a friend.
Remember your diving certificate and your logbook. Before the dive you will have to sign a medical waiver and a “safe dive declaration”.
