Dive with Sharks at the Shark Reef Aquarium

Sometimes you go on vacation and you spend so much time doing what everyone else does that you get home and you really have no stories to tell. "We ate at..., We saw..." yada, yada yada, what is the point if you don't experience something new? Las Vegas can be different, new restaurants, new hotels, new shows and always those experiences that you would rather not share with anyone back home. Of course, it's Las Vegas.

You can now do something that is very Las Vegas, Dive with Sharks at the Shark Reef Aquarium. Drop into a 1.3 million gallon aquarium with sharks gliding past you and wonder who would put a wetsuit and chain maille suit on in the middle of the desert. If you dive, Shark Reef Aquarium has an adventure for you.

You get an opportunity to learn so much about sharks and the huge part they play in the marine ecosystem. The Shark Dive program includes a guided tour of the Shark Reef Aquarium as well as a behind the scenes look at the inner workings of the aquarium and the effort that goes into providing a place to see, interact and learn about the various species at Shark Reef.
