Your Chance To Snorkel With The Sharks And Rays

A purpose-built snorkel pen will allow visitors to be fully immersed in the Atlantic Ocean tank, where they can come face-to-face with some of the world's most spectacular animals.

The Atlantic Ocean exhibit is the deepest tank in the UK, holding an amazing 2.5 million litres of water, and is home to more than 700 individual animals, representing 51 species.

Stingrays, sharks and even a turtle have their home in the massive multi-storey tank, with the new pen offering snorkellers the best view in the aquarium.
