Blue Planet Aquarium is home to Europe's largest collection of sharks. Visitors can see Sand Tiger Sharks, Nurse Sharks and more in the Ocean Tank. The aquarium offers talks and feeds throughout the day. For a more immersive experience, it runs PADI-certified shark dives: Junior Shark Dives for ages 8–15 (minimum height 125cm) with child-sized scuba gear in the reef section, and Adult Shark Dives for ages 16+ in a cage-free dive into the Ocean Tank. School trips, birthday parties and group visits are available.
