I am diving the shark tank at the Denver Aquarium on Feb 7th. One of my birthday presents. I told myself after diving the fish aquarium and again after belize that I would do it on my birthday.

They were full for the normal session and opened up a 2nd dive at 2:30.

Anyone adventurous and want to join?

Don't worry, my adventurous side will end when we sit on the bottom and take pictures

My daughter-in-law was going to do this for my son's birthday. For some reason he decided against it. I never found out the reason. Hopefully it wasn't fear of sharks... if so, he didn't inherit that from his father! Hope you have a great dive.

I'd kinda like to do this dive... but I've got a conflict right now. I'm hoping it may go away... do you know how much time A-1 needs beforehand to get you in the group? (assuming they haven't filled the 230 slot...)

If I can't make it, have a blast!!

I still want to do this, but have a conflict as its Superbowl Sunday. If it was a couple of hours earlier maybe, but with kickoff at 4:30, I don't think I can make it.

If anyone wants to do this another time, please let me know and we can give it a try!

It's $175. I don't think the 230 slot is filled. They had just opened it when I called. Usually only do 1 dive a day. And when I dove in the fish tank, I called them a couple days before. They also sell underwater film cameras for $25 but it's pretty grainy and only has about 20 pics. You can take your own camera for $15.

I'm sure I will go again. I thought about the superbowl game. I wanted to dive earlier but that was full. I will rush home, take a shower and head to friends for the game. Hope to make it before halftime. The Colts are gonna win anyway. Peyton Manning is too good for the Saints defense

yeah, it sounds like you do some pretty interesting diving. Inheriting genes is a funny thing sometimes. If you were to compare me to anyone else in my family, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles etc.....I have done a lot of things they would never try.

I guess the guy I talked to was looking at the schedule wrong. They only have 1 dive sunday Feb 7th. It is at 1pm and so far I am the only one signed up. So there are still 5 or 6 spots open.

JustRuck, how was the dive? I recently did the Epcot DiveQuest at the The Living Seas and loved getting to swim with the sharks and rays. Also did you get any pictures and or video while diving, this would be interesting to see.

The shark dive was pretty cool. I ended up being the only one in with the guide. Yes I got a lot of pics. If you would like to see my pics add me on facebook, chris rueckert, and they are on their.

I am in tampa for 2 weeks now and diving clearwater today and epcot saturday night. My instructor had shown me a video of his epcot dive and I said I would do it if I ever made it down here. Low and behold the air force sent me here. Can't wait.
