Go cage-free with sharks at SEA LIFE Melbourne in a fully guided diving adventure. No diving experience needed, just bring your sense of adventure.
Your Shark Dive Xtreme experience lasts approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. Check in at SEA LIFE Melbourne at your scheduled time. No prior diving experience or certification is needed. After signing your medical form, you’ll gear up and begin your scuba training with certified instructors before heading into the Oceanarium.
Scuba training made easy: Kick off with a 90-minute introduction to scuba diving, covering essential skills, safety protocols, and comfort checks with your instructor.
Dive with ocean giants: Once trained, take a 30-minute guided dive inside a 2.2-million-litre Oceanarium, swimming alongside nurse sharks, leopard sharks, wobbegongs, stingrays, sea turtles, and hundreds of reef fish. All equipment, wetsuits, and guidance included.
All-day aquarium access: After your dive, explore the rest of SEA LIFE Melbourne at your own pace. Visit 12 themed zones, from penguins and jellyfish to crocodiles and coral reefs.
Small group, big adventure: Dives are limited to four participants per session, ensuring personal attention and plenty of space to take in the marine magic.
No license? No problem: This experience is perfect for first-time divers. Just bring swimwear, a towel, and your sense of adventure.
