Shark Tank Diving

Something a little different. Take a Shark Dive at Deep Sea World just outside Edinburgh and you’ll be swimming with nature’s most feared predator. The 4.5 million litre Underwater Safari is home to one of Europe’s largest collections of sand tiger sharks, as well as 2,000 other fish including rays and conger eels. Edinburgh is a beautiful city. Being a weekend we also take the opportunity to see the sights of Edinburgh. See next booking and Accommodation.

We usually make a weekend if it. Travel up on the Friday evening, spend the night out on the town (maybe), you have all day Saturday to recover and see the sights of Edinburgh as the session starts at about 6pm Saturday evening. Why not stay over and travel back Sunday. Transport and accommodation are not included.
