Breathe deep and dive in as you come face to face with the majesty of sharks. This safe, thrilling and unique experience will be overseen by qualified PADI instructors at all times, so you'll be in safe hands while you take the plunge.

Then it’s time for the magic to begin! Your instructors will stay by your side while you discover the breath-taking underwater playground, shimmering with a host of incredible marine creatures. You’ll come face to face with Sand Tiger Sharks (10 feet+), Angel Sharks and Topes. No previous Scuba diving experience is necessary as training is provided, and you will be fully supervised by qualified PADI instructors at all times.

This would make an unforgettable day out, and is the ideal gift for the marine enthusiast in your life!
