Get closer than ever to marine life in a submersible at SeaWorld® Yas Island
Well, look no further than SeaWorld's SeaSub.
Launching just in time with summer fast approaching, SeaSub is the world's first submersible experience inside an aquarium.
At none other than SeaWorld Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, which is home to over 100 animal experiences.
No, you don't need a diving licence, flippers, or the ability to hold your breath.
The underwater expedition gets you closer to marine life than ever before, all without damp socks or fogged-up goggles.
Once inside the submersible, you'll descend into the Endless Ocean, the region's largest multi-species marine life aquarium.
You'll be diving beneath the surface, cruising alongside rays, sharks, and different fish species.
Designed for both education and entertainment, the experience is perfect for curious kids and adults, though kids need to be at least eight years old to join and must be accompanied by an adult.
Each SeaSub trip accommodates up to four guests, so whether you're heading in with the family or turning it into a memorable moment with your besties, there's room to take it all in comfortably.
Before your descent, you'll have a full safety briefing, and a SeaWorld pilot will guide you throughout, so you can relax, enjoy the ride, and capture epic underwater moments.
