Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Kindly read this on aquariums in KL. My question is whether it is a good idea to dive and swim together with sharks. Will it stress the animal to some extent? Is this a common feature in aquariums around the world? On what grounds/points can I or the NGO I am with object to this form of adventure seeking - diving with sharks. Kindly advise. Yitze A chance to dive with sharks - New Straits Times 13 Jun 2006 KUALA LUMPUR: Underwater adventure-seekers can now dive and feed sharks and other marine creatures at the Aquaria KLCC. The aquariam has launched a " Dive with Sharks " programme that allows adult divers and non-divers a taste of adventure. Visitors will have the opportunity to come face-to-face with sand tiger sharks, giant blotched fantail rays, giant groupers and moray eels. The programme, launched by Kuala Lumpur Mayor Datuk Ruslin Hassan yesterday, will hold three dive sessions daily with a maximum of five divers per session. Visitors will have their dives recorded on a DVD and be presented with exclusive souvenirs and a certificate. Fees are RM450 for non-divers and RM400 for experienced divers. The aquarium has recorded 800,000 visitors since its opening 10 months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
