Skegness aquarium Shark dive experience
Skegness aquarium dive with Sharks and more
My absolute thanks, and praise, goes to Skegness aquarium and all its dive team. For my 70th birthday I was transported to another world when I scuba dived with the team. Meeting Josh, Adon, and Jamie, and the supervisors, who were all amazing, helping myself and the other divers on the day, to understand all their instructions, keeping us calm, and ensuring we had the best time. Our scuba equipment was waiting for us in the changing room. Although it was a strange experience donning a wet suit, for the first time, it helped enormously when told to stay under the shower all the time you were getting into the wet suit as it really did make it easier. Masks were available in all sizes and fitted really well. The introduction included how and when to do all things, where to stand, and when to move along the bottom of the aquarium. Granny shark (Pauline) was a very calming presence as she joined us as we dived.
Once we were acclimatised to the full face masks, which were so comfortable, and took some of the worry out of the experience, our jackets and tanks were fitted. Each step was carefully explained to me as a complete novice, although I had previously had the opportunity to take a “try-dive” in Gosport, Hampshire to allay any fears I had, and that helped keep me calm.
Once we were fully submerged in the aquarium, our party of three divers, were given further instructions to help us get the most out of our dive. We were diving in a tank with sharks, rays, guitar fish, and a plethora of multicoloured fish, of all shapes and sizes. I cannot explain how amazing this experience was, I had the most wonderful time, it really took my breath away. my husband was taking lots of pictures and videos from the viewing rooms, and I still can’t believe that I did dive with sharks etc., I also took advantage of the video package, a bargain at £24.99.
Visiting this very well run educational Aquarium before my dive was an complete honour, I have a better understanding of the work Skegness Aquarium does, and it was so entertaining.
The other parts of the venue were run so well, Paul at reception helped my husband find his way around, and gave me so much literature and pamphlets to take always. The staff in the cafe looked after my husband so well whilst he waited for me to enter the water.
The conservation work of the team at Skegness Aquarium is second to none. Ensuring everyone who visits goes away with a new understanding of the plight of sharks throughout the world. Save the sharks is their constant message.
I applaud the staff and dive team at Skegness Aquarium.
I would advise anyone thinking of doin this to visit YouTube and look for how to put on a wet suit and how to use a full face mask, as it really helps when you visit for a shark dive.
