Deep Sea World Aquarium - Scottish East Coast & Borders
If you're looking to get your PADI certification in a controlled environment, Deep Sea World Aquarium offers a unique opportunity. They run courses right in their main tank, so you'll be sharing the water with sand tiger sharks, stingrays, and various other larger fish. It's an unusual way to complete your Open Water dives, especially if you're not quite ready for the chillier, murkier conditions of a typical Scottish sea dive. We think it’s a great option for newer divers, or those who want a truly memorable confined water experience before heading to open water.
