Me!
After ticking ‘No’ to questions such as ‘Have you consumed alcohol within the last 12 hours’ and ‘Are you suffering from a hangover’ my fear worsened, and to finish it off I had eaten some of Andy’s tuna sandwich before I went in so felt for sure the sharks would smell that.
The experience was amazing, we had lots of safety talks about scuba diving and what we would be doing in the aquarium, the guide walked us around the aquarium (it has a big doughnut tunnel in it that visitors can walk around and see the marine life (and scuba divers) all around them) and showed us the sharks, manta rays, sting rays and turtles etc that we would be meeting. The sharks were actually Grey Nurse sharks who apparently don’t eat anything bigger than their mouths - although they had plenty of teeth so I wasn’t going to be taking any chances.
We got into our wetsuits (cue one of the most embarrassing moments of my life as the male guide had to hoist the suit over my bottom) and got our tanks on and then we were off.
