Diving With the Sharks

Aquaria KLCC has a program called Diving with the Sharks that allows visitors see tiger sharks and stingrays up close. This daredevil event is a must try for thrill seekers. The sharks have been living in the aquarium for more than 5 years and are domesticated, so visitors need not worry about any harm. For those visitors who don’t have a diving permit, the aquarium allows one to explore the ocean with the help of a submerged cage.

Tips

Visitors may experience long queue lines during weekends and public holidays. Hence, it is advised to visit the aquarium during weekdays.
It is recommended to visit the diving sharks program only if one is physically fit and have prior diving experience, as any sudden movement may scare the fishes.
