Swim with giants of the deep blue sea in the Acorns Charity Shark Dive!

 
Saturday 26th June 2010
Blue Planet Aquarium, Cheshire    
 

Experience one of the most breathtaking encounters of a lifetime when you come face to face with creatures from the deep! 

 

   

   
 
In this unique opportunity Acorns supporters have the chance to swim with a variety of sharks, including a 10ft Sand Tiger Shark, Nurse Sharks, Guitar Sharks, Wobbigong, Bamboo sharks, as well as other species of aquatic life including Southern Sting Rays!
    

Our shark dive events take place at the Blue Planet Aquarium in Cheshire.  Divers will receive training from the Blue Planet Aquarium PADI dive instructor prior to spending approximately 30 minutes up close and personal with the sharks.  Each diver can bring 2 spectators free of charge to view the aquarium and watch the dive from the safety of dry land. 

 
This event is part of our 450 challenge so participants are required to raise a minimum sponsorship of £450.00, which is the cost to Acorns of looking after one child for a day in one of our hospices.  This price covers the cost of the dive at £200 per person and raises a profit of £250 for Acorns Children's Hospice.
