SharkDive Xtreme
Dive in with HUGE sharks!! In this experience of a lifetime at Oceanworld Manly you’ll also scuba dive with giant stingrays, turtles and a vast array of marine life from Sydney Harbour and its surrounds.
Shark Dive Xtreme is suitable for first-time divers with full instruction from our experts before a 30 minute dive in Oceanworld’s 4.5 million litre Oceanarium.
Certified divers have a shark awareness program in addition to their dive. There’s also a scuba tune up option to refresh skills before your shark dive.
All shark divers will scuba dive with Grey Nurse sharks, Port Jackson sharks, Crested Horn sharks and Wobbegong sharks, also known as Carpet sharks. Grey Nurse sharks are critically endangered; Oceanworld is one of just three aquariums worldwide to successfully breed the Grey Nurse shark in captivity and you’ll dive with Maia, born at Oceanworld Manly in 2001.
All equipment and instruction from our team of experts is included. Each shark diver receives a certificate of their achievement and receives complimentary admission to Oceanworld including all guided tours and interactive shows.

Shark Feed XtremeDiving with sharks and viewing them up close is a fascinating experience, which leaves you in awe of these beautiful marine creatures. By booking onto the Shark Feed Dive, you will be underwater with the sharks during a feeding session. Imagine being just metres away from 3.5 metres plus from sharks as they are hand fed by the aquarists. During the Shark Feed Dive you will be standing in an open cage while the aquarists hand feed different species of sharks, as well as giant turtles, stingrays and fish. What a view! The first part of this dive is not a cage dive, you will be right in the middle of a stingray feeding frenzy with animals that are much larger than you at more than 3 metres across. The Shark Feed Dive is suitable for first time divers as the session starts with a full scuba diving briefing, shark awareness course and pool skills session. Experienced divers will benefit from the opportunity to refresh their skills. The instructors give personalised tuition, ensuring everyone is confident with the basic skills and commands before entering the oceanarium. With the briefing and skills session completed, it's time to enter the five million litre oceanarium tank. Once in the tank you will experience a 40-minute dive viewing the Shark Feed. Family and friends are welcome to watch and take photos from the viewing tunnel. Finish off your experience by checking out the photographic evidence of your latest adventure! Take the time to wander about the rest of the aquarium and appreciate the many sea creatures and animals on show including some of Australia's deadliest reptiles. The Shark Feed Dive takes up to three and a half hours to complete, with a maximum of two divers per session. | |
