A couple years ago I dove in the shark tank at the aquarium. It was one of the "Adventures" they offered. At the time I dove with 26 sharks(12 sandtiger, 12 sandbar, and 2 sawtooth). They provided everything except your mask. Very neat dive. Currently I do not see this adventure on their website but I spoke with a volunteer diver from the aquarium a couple weekends ago and he said they were still offering it but it just was not popular.

You are not swimming you are peering over the ledge with a mask and snorkel. You can not stick your hands over the edge or get over the edge due to the attendants monitoring your movements. So you are in about 3 feet of water and can stand up at any point in time. Was it fun - yes but I would have spent my money on other "Aquarium Dives" not a peer over the ledge and watch sharks from a distance. The sting ray spot was fun - I will say that. But I can understand why this activity is not popular.
