About this dive site

This dive site is the Two Oceans Aquarium Predator Tank in Cape Town, South Africa. It's a controlled environment, offering a unique and safe diving experience within a large aquarium tank. Navigation is straightforward, as the tank is relatively small and there are no currents to contend with. There is no historical significance to the tank itself, as it's a modern aquarium exhibit.

The marine life consists primarily of a variety of fish species, including ragged-tooth sharks (the main attraction), yellowtail, grouper, and mullet. While not a natural reef environment, a variety of other captive fish and potentially invertebrates can also be seen. There is no coral present.

The best time to visit the aquarium is any time it's open, as conditions within the tank remain constant. The experience is equally suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers, given the shallow depth and lack of currents. Remember this is a controlled environment; divers and freedivers should follow the aquarium's guidelines and instructions at all times.
