Arrive at SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium in the early afternoon to check in and learn the time slot for your dive. Youâ€™ll then receive a one-hour briefing, which is mandatory for all divers. During the briefing, youâ€™ll meet your guide, go over safety and dive procedures, and learn about the sharks and other animals in the aquarium. Your group is limited to four divers, ensuring personal attention from your guide the entire time. All training will be provided at the SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium on the day of your dive, with no previous experience necessary.

Depending on your schedule, you're welcome to explore the aquarium before or after the mandatory briefing. Visit the Conservation Cove to learn about local marine life; head to Seahorse Pier for the largest exhibit of seahorses and seadragons in the world; and spy on a Pinjarra â€” one of Australiaâ€™s largest saltwater crocodiles â€” at the Croc Lair.

Once it's time to dive, youâ€™ll meet your guide, get your equipment on, and get into the water! Colorful fish dart past you in the 2 million-liter Oceanarium as you swim near the tank's bigger residents including nurse sharks, sevengill sharks, giant stingrays, and sea turtles. Your guide will make sure that you stay safe throughout your half-hour experience.

Basic SCUBA training is provided so that you can delve into the underwater habitat, with no experience necessary. All training will be provided at the SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium on the day of your dive.

While you are diving, your friends and family can watch and take pictures of you in the tank â€” an incredible souvenir of your time with the sharks!

This was the most underwhelming experience and a complete waste of money! If you are looking for a fun experience that is exciting, well this definitely isn’t it. The instructors were extremely rude and seemed to want us to pull out of the dive. At every step of their explanation (both in and out of the water) they would say “if you can’t do this you can’t dive”. The dive instructor - I think her name was Nikki should be fired she was so rude and ruined the whole day. The actual dive was far too short, and we spend the majority of it sitting in front of a crowd posing for them. There was literally no swimming involved, the instructors either dragged you from one location to another, or they got mad when you used your legs to kick instead of crawling along the ground. There was no free swimming, the entire dive we simply moved from one spot to another, the sharks could not have been less interested and barely even approached us. I have never been less scared in my entire life, you would be better spending your money on an entry pass to the aquarium, you would probably get closer to a shark that way. The price is simply ludicrous, I genuinely have no idea how they can charge so much for such a bad experience, save your money and go somewhere they offer REAL diving, as opposed to this crappy version.

My wife organised the shark dive experience for my 30th birthday and it was amazing! The staff (Jess and Nikki on the day) provided a great safety briefing and demonstration on how to use the scuba equipment as this was my first time diving. Swimming amongst the sharks, rays and other marine life was the best and I will recommend it’s to my friends and family!

My first experience diving and i had a blast! The big sharks and stingray swimming around my head were amazing, and the dive team were absolutely fantastic. James had a hilarious briefing making the boring stuff interesting. Jess and Nikki had made me feel very comfortable in the water, so less time worrying about breathing and more time looks at the animals. Caitlyn helped us gear up effortlessly so we had more time playing in the water. Brilliant customer service all round 10/10.

AMAZING experience made even better by caring and patient staff members there, Jess, Nikki and Edison!! I was nervous being that it was my first time diving and the patience shown to me by Edison especially was so incredible. They gave me time to practice my breathing and didn't hurry or force me into the water. I can't recommend it enough!! Every staff member we met was so friendly and it was the best experience! I would do it every weekend! Thank you so much to the staff!
