Are you an adrenaline junkie? Do you love doing things that other people find extremely frightening? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then we have an experience offered in Georgia that will get your heart racing, blood pumping, and create lifelong memories. At the Georgia Aquarium, visitors have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to swim with whale sharks and let’s just say this isn’t for the faint of heart.
Journey under the sea with a few gentle giants at Georgia Aquarium, an experience that is one not offered too many other places in the world.
For example, in order to attend the dive into the Ocean Voyager exhibit, you must have proof of autonomous Open Water SCUBA certification from a nationally or internationally recognized organization and be at least 12 years of age.
For those who are certified, the dive will consist of hands-on trainer safety, equipment, 30 minutes in the water, plus a souvenir photo and exclusive t-shirt.
