A friend of mine posted something about Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, which had me go visit their site. I found out that there is a package you can dive in Shark Reef. For $650! (Two people for $1,000 a comparative bargain.) For me, I have to fly to Vegas and get a hotel, so we'll call that equal: that cost of diving would allow me to dive, with a decent tip- for 7 days in Cozumel. I know it is supply/demand but that amount just seems crazy.
Anyhow- I had previously heard about Epcot's Dive Quest, and was wondering what other aquariums have diving. I mean- the idea of being in the aquarium just seems really cool, especially the chance to view the guests from the other side of the glass, not to mention all the wildlife that will be in there.
Here's what I found (all really expensive, but not at all compared to Mandalay Bay!)
Epcot Dive Quest- 3 hour program, 40 minute dive, $175
Georgia State Aquarium with Whale Sharks- 2.5 hour program, 30 minute dive, $334.95
Littleton, Colorado, choose with fish or with sharks it seems- ?, ?, $185
Florida Aquarium, Tampa- ?, 30 minute dive, $175
Long Island Aquarium, Shark dive- ?, ? $165
National Aquarium, Maryland- 3 hour program, 45 minute dive, $195
Aquarium of the Pacific, Long Beach- 2.5 hour program, ? dive, $299
Have you ever dove in an aquarium? Was it "worth it"?
