How many shark species live at SEA LIFE Sydney?

We’re home to 13 incredible shark species, from the iconic Grey Nurse Shark to Wobbegongs, Blacktip Reef Sharks, and more. You’ll even find some baby sharks in our nursery zone!

What is Shark Valley?

Shark Valley is our stunning walk-through oceanarium. It’s where you can see sharks swimming all around you, and sometimes right overhead, in one of the deepest indoor exhibits in the world.

Can I dive with the sharks?

Yes! Shark Dive Xtreme is one of the only cage-less shark dives in the world where no scuba experience is needed. You’ll come face-to-fin with Grey Nurse Sharks in an experience you’ll never forget.

Are the sharks dangerous?

Despite their reputation, our sharks are calm, curious, and incredibly misunderstood. The species at SEA LIFE Sydney are not a danger to guests and are cared for by expert aquarists.

What conservation work do you do for sharks?

We actively support shark conservation through rescue and rehab work, breeding endangered species like the grey nurse shark, and contributing to global rewilding efforts. Learn more in our conservation section above.

Do you feed the sharks? Can I watch?

Yes! Our aquarists feed the sharks regularly, and visitors can often watch during scheduled feeding sessions. Check the daily program for timings and be sure to catch a keeper talk.

Is the shark tunnel suitable for young kids?

Absolutely. Shark Valley is a gentle, accessible walk-through experience perfect for all ages, and a favourite for little ones with big imaginations. Please note, ramps can sometimes be too steep for wheelchair users if they do not have anyone with them to provide assistance.

Do sharks really have personalities?

They do! Like cats and dogs, individual sharks can show different temperaments. Some are shy, some bold, and others just curious about their environment.
