Tour Of Exploris  :  Open Sea Tank

Either in the cave beneath or from the bridge above, you can gaze into the largest tank in the aquarium. Holding 250 tonnes of sea water the open sea tank houses the animals that exist in deeper waters.

This is where you will see commercially important species such as cod, turbot and halibut joined by a number of shark species, conger eels and many others.

Throughout the year the visitors are given the opportunity to view divers feed the sharks and congers in this tank. For specific dates check our events calendar.
