The highlight of Deep Sea World is the large aquarium with a perspex walkway that allows visitors to view the fish above and to the sides. Visitors may view a variety of sharks which are fed so regularly that they don't attack the other fish swimming around them.
At feeding times, you can watch as members of staff swim through the aquarium handing tit-bits to passing fish. A presenter gives a running commentary and answers your questions.
