Tips from the community

In Dubai, you can go diving with sharks…at the mall. Wait, what? At the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo located in the Dubai Mall, you can dive into a 10-million liter tank to find yourself in the company of manta rays, groupers, clownfish, and sharks. The aquarium is home to thousands of marine animals from over 140 species. The dives are supervised and suitable for all levels of divers, whether you’re certified or not. If you’re not into diving but still want to be able to see the sharks up close, sign up for the Shark Encounter where you’ll put on snorkeling gear and get inside a diving cage surrounded by sharks feeding on small fish. It’s certainly more than an average day at the mall!

    There is nothing quite like spending a day observing an array of beautiful marine life. Aquariums are a major attraction across the map, and as science nerds, we love checking out the local aquarium during our travels. Watching ghost-like jellyfish bob through the glowing water, and vivid colored tropical fish scurry across lush habitats is not only an awe-inspiring experience but fun for the whole family. Whether you want to see penguins swimming in icy waters in Atlanta or massive whales and sharks through a glass wall on the tropical island of Okinawa, we gathered a list of some of the most spectacular museums far and wide to include on your underwater bucket list.
