Roquetas Aquarium

||
| Just over 1 hours drive from the apartment on the outskirts of Roquetas, is the newly opened Roquetas Aquarium. This state of the art, 3000 m² aquarium uses over 2 million litres of water, making it the largest aquarium in the province. The different aquatic zones are beautifully presented and range from tropical freshwater and tropical marine, to the open ocean and a 1 million litre main tank, housing numerous sharks and other marine species. There is a touch pool in the aquarium where the public are invited to stroke the wings of one of the many rays or guitar fish as they are swimming around. The staff are all very friendly and well-informed, some speaking English as well as Spanish. All signs and information are in various languages, including English and German. Surrounding the main tank is an 80-seat auditorium where one can attend lectures and shark-feeding displays, or just sit and watch these graceful animals in this well recreated habitat. Various special services are offered by the aquarium, but the best of these has to be the shark diving. This is for experienced, certified divers ONLY. A diving instructor specialising in shark diving will guide you through the dive and will monitor you during your time in the main tank. The price is €160.50 and includes entry into the aquarium, all diving equipment and insurance. see www.aquariumroquetas.com for more information (Spanish). Rates: Adults - €12 | ||
