Get a deep sea experience right in your own backyard! This is the Eye-To-Eye Shark Dive at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma! 🤿

SCUBA DIVE WITH SHARKS! 🦈🤿

Dive eye-to-eye with sharks at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma—no scuba experience needed! Safe, thrilling, and unforgettable underwater adventure for small groups.

Shark tank diving

✅ Before you go
• You absolutely need a reservation for this: https://www.pdza.org/discover/shark-dives/ 🦈
• This is for small groups, up to 4 people! 🤿🤿🤿🤿
• YOU DO NOT NEED ANY SCUBA EXPERIENCE TO DO THIS! The instructors give you step-by-step instructions on how to participate! 💧
• It’s not scary… it’s AMAZING! I felt safe the entire time! 🫶
• There are huge metal bars and a diver from the aquarium in the water with you, constantly checking on you. 🦈
• Make sure you arrive early! You need enough time to make your way through the zoo and to the aquarium by the time your booking starts!⏰
• You will absolutely need a change of clothes! We wore sweatpants and a sweatshirt to the zoo (no hoods!). You’re given a dry suit to wear over that, but water seeped through mine, and I was pretty damp by the end. 😩
• The hardest part for me was getting used to the oxygen line. Once it’s time to go, the staff help you get in quickly, so you can enjoy the most amount of time in the water. I ended up popping back up for a moment and taking a few breaths above the surface to get used to breathing through the line before going under. 😮‍💨
• The water isn’t bad at all! If you get cold easily, consider one more layer! 💦
• You’re underwater for about 20 minutes! The entire experience is about an hour, including a briefing before and after! 🐠🐟
• The experience costs about $130 per person! 💰

💪 Pro tips
• Your ticket includes a ticket to the zoo as well! We stayed at the zoo for a few hours after and checked out the other animals! 🐯🐼🐻

Head underwater! 🤿

Get a deep sea experience right in your own backyard.

This is the eye to eye shark dive at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma.

You submerge right into a shark tank and get

up close and personal with these incredible creatures.

I had zero scuba experience before doing this.

You're given step by step instructions and information about the

types of sharks and other fish in the tank with you

before you suit up and head under the water.

so you're underwater for about 20 minutes of that.

The sharks will come within inches of the bars if you stay still.

There's a diver from the aquarium in the water with you,

and there are giant bars to keep you separated.

I really recommend it for anyone interested in getting over their fear of jaws.
