Shark Survival
Are you ready to take the plunge with the feared legends of the deep?
For those seeking the ultimate thrill, join our qualified divers on a Shark Survival adventure to see life through a shark’s eye. This cage-free dive in the predator tank will see you up close and personal with Broadnose Sevengill, School and Wobbegong sharks as well as giant long-tailed stingray and other fish from New Zealand’s coastal waters.
This is one survival story you’ll be happy to tell!
