| PRICE |
|
Certified
divers: 75,000 Won (you must show proof of certification) Reservations
will be made on a first paid basis. A 45,000 won non-refundable
deposit per diver is required to make a reservation. If
you wish to cancel the dive, we require 72 hours notice. If we
do not receive 72 hours notice, or if you are a 'no-show' on the
day of the dive, your deposit will be lost. If you give us 72
hours notice, we will apply your deposit to a future reservation.
Deposits will be refunded to divers in the event of a cancellation
on the part of 'Scuba In Korea' or Busan Aquarium. The difference
in price between Korean won and U.S. dollars is caused by the
exchange rate, currency exchange fees and PayPal service fees.

| LOCATION |
| All
shark dives are conducted in the 3 million liter, 5 meter deep,
main tank of Busan Aquarium. Busan Aquarium is located right on beautiful Haeundae Beach in Busan. Haeundae has its own subway station (on the green line). You can find a map of the Busan Subway system here. Haeundae also has its own Korea National Railroad station. You can get direct service to/from Ulsan, Daegu, Daejeon and Seoul (among others). Be aware that these trains are less frequent than those coming/going from Busan Station and that there is no KTX service from Haeundae Station. A taxi from Busan Station will cost around 13,000 Won. |
| WHAT YOU MUST BRING |
| *
Divers must provide their own swimwear (wetsuits provided by aquarium) * Certified divers MUST present their c-cards. Non-divers must bring official picture ID. * A camera is good idea * If you wear glasses, you cannot wear them under the mask. We recommend that you bring contact lenses. It's not very fun if you can't see anything. |
| TIME |
|
THE
EXPERIENCE WILL TAKE FROM 3.5 to 5 HOURS. PLEASE ALLOW FOR THIS
WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR TRAVEL PLANS. Please
be at the entrance to the aquarium at, or before, the indicated
start time. |
| TRAINING |
| Training for non-certified divers will be conducted on site by an experienced, English-speaking, professional dive instructor. Training is conducted in water shallow enough to stand up in. Training will be conducted at a pace that is comfortable for the divers. Non-divers will participate in either the PADI Discover Scuba Diving program or the NAUI Try Scuba Diving program. Neither of these programs are dive certification programs. They are experience programs only. You will NOT be certified to scuba dive upon completion of your shark dive experience. |
