We are excited that the shark dive is coming back in 2025!

Take on this fantastic challenge to dive with one of Europe’s largest collections of sharks at the Blue Planet Aquarium in Ellesmere Port. You will be diving with the spectacular sand tiger shark, graceful guitar shark, beautiful black tip shark and a whole host of aquatic life. Weighing in at up to 350lbs, and at lengths of 3.2m, the sand tiger sharks are by far the largest in the tank! A totally jawsome experience!
