Following this will be the experience you’ve been waiting for, the descent into the incredible underwater world filled with an array of beautiful sea creatures. There’ll be several species of shark including the Sand Tiger Shark, Lemon Shark, Nurse Shark and over 1500 various other fish, mostly found in the Caribbean…I know it sounds amazing!!!!
You will conduct the dive with a fully qualified PADI dive instructor and after your experience there will be time to shower and change before collecting your certificate of attendance. You should allow up to 5 hours for the whole experience, but the dive itself lasts 30 minutes.
The experience runs on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday and you can bring two spectators for free, any additional spectators will be charged an entrance fee. We recommend that you pre-book spectators to avoid disappointment.

Disabled toilet facilities and ramp are provided for spectators. Refreshments are not included; however they can be purchased in the Café area.
Once you pay for the experience, Virgin Experience will send a voucher and booking information to you or directly to the recipient, then you just need to check the information to make sure it’s accurate and book your experience date.
