Our Favourites
This is your only opportunity to go shark diving in Melbourne, and this exhilarating experience can only be found at Melbourne's SEA LIFE Aquarium. As one of only a few experiences worldwide where participants will be guaranteed an underwater shark encounter, this is the perfect dive for a truly heart-pounding underwater thrill. Get up close to a colony of sharks, carefully protected by the SEA LIFE Aquarium, which range in size from 1 to 3 meters in size. No cages – you're going to get as close as possible with these magnificent fish as they swim all around you. You won't need any diving experience; all you need is your mettle, as you go on your dive with Nurse Sharks, Port Jackson Sharks, Leopard Sharks and Wobbegong Sharks. You'll be able to learn about their movements and natural habitats, as well as the other underwater species they move with, such as gigantic stingrays, and more. It's an absolutely unforgettable experience that few will be able to say they've managed to achieve.
