Animal Adventures

Overview

Join a qualified Shark Bay diver for the ultimate Shark Encounter and an exhilarating shark feeding session with the world's most feared predators. You'll come face to face with large sharks including potentially dangerous species such as the magnificent Dusky Whaler shark.

During this unique program, you will enter the acrylic cage in the Shark Lagoon where you see these amazing creatures fed up close and personal.

Participants are required to wear either SCUBA diving equipment (with appropriate certification) or snorkel equipment. Participants are supplied with a wet suit, mask, snorkel or all SCUBA diving equipment for the duration of the program.

Program duration is approximately 120 minutes with approximately 30 minutes in the water.

The Shark Encounter program is available for guests 14 years of age and over at a cost of $295.00 per person.

Limited Shark Encounter programs are available on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday only and have two participants per program.

The Nikon Indy 300 will take place on the Gold Coast 23 – 26 October 2008. You may experience traffic delays on your route to Sea World due to this event so please allow additional travelling time to ensure you are on time for your Animal Adventures program.
