“Walking with sharks” is one of the recreation services that was available on the resort’s website.
“Using state-of-the-art helmets made of clear glass, guests of the resort can walk along the bottom and find themselves “nose to nose” with the guardians of the lost world of Atlantis. No swimming experience is required“, the information said.
The aquarium has seven different species of sharks, including the two-meter long Pacific blacktip shark and the great hammerhead shark, which can grow up to six meters. Only one of all species represented there is listed as safe for humans.
