Two Oceans Aquarium, in partnership with the UCT Underwater Club, will be hosting an exciting public event called Diver24. This event will entirely be dedicated to scuba diving on the evening of 7 March 2020.
Get deep into this thrilling outdoor activity with the following event highlights at Diver24:
• Hear from three diving experts, covering the history of scuba, the incredible sights of Southern African diving sites, and what it’s like to work with sharks … underwater!
• Try on some scuba gear and get an idea of what it feels like to be wearing a “self-contained underwater breathing apparatus” (SCUBA).
• Learn more about the Two Oceans Aquarium Education Foundation’s impact on people, places and animals … like rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing hundreds of turtles every year.
• Find out about the different kinds of diving that let you explore the wonders of the deep blue ocean.
• Watch scuba-inspired short films while enjoying delicious burgers, made right here by the Two Oceans Aquarium’s functions team.
• Enjoy the Aquarium after closing time, for a special night-time view of the fish.
Divers will be in the exhibits throughout the evening and Two Oceans Aquarium have one or two other special tricks up our wetsuit sleeves… Don’t miss out! You’ll be contributing to some incredible causes and may just get bitten by the diving bug…
#Diver24 24-hour scuba marathon
This event forms part of the annual #Diver24 24-hour scuba marathon, and it’s the fourth year in a row that this fundraising event is taking place inside the exhibits of the Aquarium. This year we are raising funds for the Two Oceans Aquarium Education Foundation, Shine Literacy, and the Rural Education Access Programme.
More than 100 student divers from UCT will once again be undertaking the marathon scuba dive event, making sure they are diving for 24 hours straight (alternating divers every hour).
It’s an awesome cause, and one we want to let the public in on. That’s why this year we are having an extra special event to help raise funds and to introduce you to the joy of diving. It’ll be a casual night with a variety of programme items to suit your pace and interests. All proceeds from the ticket sales of this event will be donated to the listed organisations.
