Shark dive was amazing but Viator is crap - they tried to charge me an extra $75 for changing dates a month before the date even though their website lists that they cannot do that.. arggh! It also took them 2 weeks to respond. Anyways, I would recommend going directly through Oceanworld to book because it is a great experience.

This was ok, basically you get your kit, and go and lean on the glass tunnel and let the sharks swim past you while the instructor takes pictures of you all. you dont actually "swim" with the sharks

I was really apprehensive before going ( I guess swimming with the sharks does that to people), but the staff were really friendly and sooo professional. After going through all the safety procedures again and again and practices them in the pool, I felt extremely safe and confident entering the aquarium. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and felt totally safe and relaxed the whole time. Highly recommend this experience.

Great experience and I would recommend to anyone going to Sydney.

Good experience. Just remember you will spend at least 12 a day to do this and the Manly Aquarium is very, very small. There is a good bit to see in Manly, very nice area with a small beach that has a bunch of shops. Make a day of it in Manly and you won't feel like you lost a day just to do this. Warning, it is a bit expensive, especially if you want pics.

Highly recommended and I would do it again, but I was not happy with the photos and DVD as I payed $60 for a DVD and there was nothing on it.

If you have never dived, yes. But if you are, like me, a good diver and professionnel, not.

Ten foot grey nurse sharks and queen-bed-sized manta rays, there was a little bit of a rush.

Review by: Rachel E, United States of America	July 2009
This was one of the most adrenaline-pumping moments of our trip! My husband and I were truly impressed with the personnel at Manly, and with the ease of transportation to it via ferry. The guides made sure we were completely ready before going into the big tank. It was a load of fun! Memories and moments we will never forget.

Wow.

Review by: Diane C, United States of America	April 2008
We opted to do this simply because we needed a refresher course for scuba diving and absolutely loved it. There were two other girls who were first time scuba divers and had a marvelous time - would highly recommend.

I really enjoyed this experience, and the staff at Oceanworld were great.

This was the highlight of my trip to Sydney! The staff is very nice and patient, and it is an experience not to be missed. The sharks and rays come so close, it was worth every penny!

Review by: Jacob H, United States of America	May 2007
The staff were friendly and helpful and the dive went off without a hitch. All four of us were first-time divers and the hand-on pre-dive preparation was very helpful, without being too time consuming. The dive itself was exciting, without being scary. Being so close to half a dozen huge sharks, many rays, and schools of big fish, in a safe, controlled environment was quite a thrill!

The shark dive was an incredible experience! I'd never been diving before, but the instruction was really good and I felt very comfortable the scuba gear. I thought I would be more scared, but the guides are great and the experience was very safe. Not only were the sharks amazing, but the rays and other sea creatures were fantastic to see up close. I highly recommend checking this out if you are in Sydney, it's a a one of a kind experience.

Review by: Christopher M, United Kingdom	January 2007
The aquarium itself may have been just OK if you were one of the spectators on the conveyor belt but I did the shark dive and it was the best thing I did in my month away. Highly recommended to anyone who, like me, has a fascination with sharks.

Review by: Claire W, United Kingdom	December 2006
This was absolutely fantastic. I enjoyed every minute of it. I would recommend this to anyone. An excellent experience, and the staff were very professional.
