What sharks can you swim with?
The Sea Life Sydney Aquarium tank that you will be diving into is a bustling ecosystem of marine life. There are more than 30 sharks in the tank, including Grey Nurse sharks that stretch up to an epic 3.2 metres in length, wobbegongs, and Port Jackson sharks. You’ll also spot four species of stingray and two species of marine turtles among the abundance of other marine life living in the tank.
By far, the sharks dominate this Sydney Aquarium tank, both because of their numbers and because of their domineering nature. Scuba diving with sharks is the real life version of Shark Week that trumps anything you could ever see on TV. Try to take deep breaths as Grey Nurse sharks scope you out, Port Jackson sharks saunter by, and wobbegong sharks slip past. It’s another world in the tank, and you can be a part of it for one exhilarating diving experience.
Is shark diving dangerous?
While swimming with sharks might seem like your worst nightmare in some uncontrolled contexts, swimming with sharks in the Sea Life Sydney Aquarium Tank is very safe. Diving with sharks in Sydney is a very popular activity that people enjoy all the time. It gives you the excitement of fear while you can rest assured that you don’t need to actually fear for your safety.
All the necessary safety precautions will be taken to make sure your diving experience is safe from start to finish. As no scuba diving experience is necessary, you’ll kick off with a diving and equipment briefing. This will be both theoretical and practical, and you’ll put on your wetsuit and weight belt to practice in the training pool. Shark diving instructors will give you personalised tuition to make sure that you’re confident with the necessary skills and commands before getting into the tank. You’re in good hands!
For your safety, all divers must be able to speak english and have a reasonable level of swimming ability. You also must not drink alcohol the night before you dive or fly in an aircraft within 12 hours after you dive. Scuba diving also may not be something you can take part in due to pregnancy, epilepsy, asthma, diabetes, heart disease, chest conditions, sinus conditions, ear problems/surgery, high blood pressure, recent injuries and various other medical and psychological conditions. If this is the case, you must obtain a medical clearance from your doctor before the dive to ensure your safety.
