Experience an extreme adrenaline rush with the Two Oceans Aquarium's five
ragged tooth sharks.
Dive in and get extremely close-up with these menacing creatures of the
deep!
The Aquarium offers a unique and exciting opportunity to all qualified
scuba divers to dive in the Aquarium's two main exhibits, the I&J Predator
Exhibit and the Kelp Forest. |
|
The I&J Predator Exhibit, containing two million litres of water, is home
to five ragged tooth sharks, a variety of rays, two turtles, shoals of
yellowtail, leervis (garrick) and other fishes and the occasional visiting
sunfish.
Dive into history with the copper hat dive in the I&J Predator Exhibit.
Wearing a copper helmet weighing 18 kg, a bulky canvas suit, lead-weighted
boots and weight-belt, qualified divers are able to 'stroll' amongst the
sharks, turtles, rays and shoals of fishes. |
 |
 |
For those who are fearful of sharks, there is an equally thrilling dive
opportunity in the Kelp Forest Exhibit. This display contains 800.000
litres of water and is one of the best kelp forests on display in the
world.
Qualified divers can feed the multitude of fishes which include red roman,
red stumpnose, galjoen - the national fish of South Africa and white
stumpnose amongst others. |
|
The feed is extremely exciting as the fishes swarm around the diver,
clamouring for food.
And for those who are not so brave, witness an extreme feed in
the Aquarium on Sundays at 15h30 and see the sharks devour their
food from the divers. |
