Dive with Sharks at Skegness Aquarium

You’ll begin your experience from home with an online E-learning session which will pass on key information and build the excitement. Then once you've arrived at the aquarium, there'll be a briefing from an experienced instructor, who’ll be giving you the lowdown on scuba diving and the array of sea species you can expect to encounter.

Get to grips with some essential diving skills in the Lost Lagoon which will serve as the perfect training pool,  and finally taking the plunge into the Coral Ocean display to immerse yourself in life underwater. With an incredible variety of species to discover, it promises to be a truly unforgettable experience.
