Shark Dives

Would you jump into a tank of water filled with 6- and 7-foot sharks? Actually, it can be done bloodlessly because sharks aren't really the aggressive man-eaters of popular myth. Come see for yourself when The Maritime Aquarium's dive team spends some quality time among the sand tiger sharks, lemon shark and other creatures of the 110,000-gallon "Ocean Beyond the Sound" exhibit. Thanks to a cool communication link, you can even talk with the divers while they're in the exhibit with the sharks! They'll… Show more tell you that sharks should be respected ... but not feared. (You also can talk to the divers before they go in the water between 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on "dive days.")
