If you have ever wanted to meet a shark face to face or teeth to teeth, then now is your chance with Shark Dive Xtreme back at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast, from 10 December 2020, with a guaranteed underwater encounter with sharks and also rays!
The what is calmly described as an “exhilarating”, but I might describe as “adrenalin pumping” Shark Dive Xtreme experience is relaunching after a three-year hiatus, so that thrill seekers can come face-to-fin with nine different shark species including three huge grey nurse sharks, reef sharks and wobbegong sharks, with the two-hour adventure taking you behind the scenes for a safety briefing and dive training before you take the plunge and find yourself inside the aquarium’s iconic Ocean Tunnel!
Never been diving? No worries, because you don’t need any previous diving experience to take part in SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast’s Shark Dive Xtreme, with the cage-free underwater experience is available to guests aged 14+, running from Thursday – Sunday.
Quinn Clarke, General Manager of SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast said, “The return of Shark Dive Xtreme coincides with our Summer of Sharks campaign and we are encouraging guests to sink their teeth into the world of these fascinating sea creatures during the school holidays through a range of activities focusing on myth-busting, conservation, shark safety, fun facts and more”,
Also, each day of the school holidays, one of SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast’s resident Shark Gurus will be chatting with guests about all things shark-related from 10am – 3pm, answering questions, showcasing artefacts and educating people about how to be shark safe this summer, with The Summer of Sharks ia celebration of sharks and the essential role they play in our ecosystem and SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast wants to give people the opportunity to learn more about these magnificent marine creatures, which are often misunderstood, and are under threat from overfishing, the demand for shark products and habitat destruction.
During the Queensland school holidays, SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast will be open 7 days per week from 9am – 5pm (last entry 4pm).
All visitors must pre-book their tickets online in advance.
