Mickey Mouse Likes Scuba Too

Feeling a little land-locked with the rug rats at Disney World? Grab your C-card and head over to Epcot for DiveQuest. For $140 scuba divers can take a behind the scenes tour of The Living Seas facility during two time slots at 4:30 and 5:30. Twelve divers per slot are permitted so reservations are not only recommended but required. After the tour, divers suit up for a 40 minute dive in the marine tank which measures over 200 feet in diameter and 25 feet in depth. The tank contains a sample of Caribbean marine life in an artificial salt water and reef environment.

Divers become part of The Living Seas attraction and can swim up to the observation windows to interact with those who preferred to stay dry. Those who would rather gaze at the vast marine life have an eye full. Most of us know the ocean is hit or miss when it comes to seeing certain marine life, but Epcot seems to have it all in one big tank. Divers can swim with turtles, sharks, rays and other fish.

Dive guests only need to bring their masks and bathing suits. For fear of contaminating the marine tank, divers aren't allowed to bring their own gear so Epcot provides all of it, right down to the shorties.

Call 407-WDW-TOUR for reservations and information.
