Swim With the Sharks in Orlando

Edited by Jennifer L. Price

At SeaWorld Orlando, the line between fun and learning is washed away with unforgettable VIP experiences that seamlessly blend adventure and education.  Kids of all ages (and the grown-up kids who bring them) can choose from an adventurous assortment of behind-the-scenes, head-of-the-line, front row, backstage, VIP encounters—including diving with sharks!

In the Sharks Deep Dive package, participants can enter a shark cage and immerse themselves in a fascinating underwater experience as they come face-to-face with more than 30 sharks of seven different species. Located at the Shark Encounter attraction, this awe-inspiring, two-hour experience allows guests to put on a wetsuit and a helmet, which allows them to breathe and communicate underwater without scuba equipment.  The steel cage travels through the 125-foot-long underwater habitat for amazing up-close views. Cost is $150 per person and includes an educational shark booklet and a commemorative T-shirt. Participants must be at least 10 years of age.

The package gives guests a great opportunity to interact with amazing animals up-close and personal in an educational and fun format.  Available year round, these wild adventures offer a one-of-a-kind chance to create memories for a lifetime. Reservations can be made by calling (800) 327-2424 or visiting www.SeaWorldOrlando.com.  Most program prices are in addition to park admission.
