THE YELLOW SUBMARINE
A must-do while at the aquarium, the yellow submarine is a novel simulation of a deep sea submarine dive.  Climb inside and seal the doors, then prepare for your exploration of the giant, undersea canyons that lie hidden, just 10km off the Otago coast.  You really feel that you're descending into the depths of the ocean while a 'window' to the seaworld outside and the commentary keep everyone fascinated.  On your 1200m dive there is the excitement of discovering glow-in-the-dark krill, fish with flashing lures and expanding stomachs, goblin sharks and more.  Included in aquarium entry price.
