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.

In a large aquarium in Scotland, you’ll meet your highly experienced and friendly diving team, who will provide you with detailed instructions for your experience, and you'll be provided with a smaller tank to test the waters before you meet the sharks for real. 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!

Staff were great and obviously so are the animals! Intro to scuba well delivered by staff, all equipment provided and high standard. Short behind the scenes tour and q&a session very interesting. Wouldn't pay extra for the photos again, no prints provided and as it was a shared group experience 2 out of 3 were of people I don't know. This was my first scuba experience and I absolutely would do it again!
