SeaTREK

The SeaTREK experience is approximately one hour long, beginning with a training and safety debrief followed by approximately 20 minutes underwater.

Your experience will be in the Aquarium’s 15-foot Heart of the Sea habitat, located just down the way from our Waves of Wonder and Coral Reefs galleries.

During this underwater walking tour, an experienced Aquarium diver will guide you through coral caves alongside a rich diversity of Indo-Pacific marine life like the Māori wrasse, blue speckled grouper, spotted unicornfish, and even a loggerhead sea turtle.

SeaTREK is available five times per day on the weekends, with a maximum of four guests per experience.

Throughout the experience, you will be accompanied by a certified SeaTREK guide to ensure you have the safest and most enjoyable experience possible. All SeaTREK guides are certified in CPR, first aid, and emergency oxygen administration. With a commitment to health and safety, all SeaTREK related gear is cleaned using a two-phase disinfection process.

Bring a swimsuit, towel, and shower items. All underwater gear will be provided, including a wetsuit. Locker rooms with showers will be available before and after your program. Lockers are available to store your personal items.

If you choose, you may bring a small underwater camera; however, it must remain tethered to your body at all times. Flash and strobe lights are strictly prohibited. Otherwise, for the health and safety of the animals, no personal equipment is permitted in the habitat. The Florida Aquarium’s SeaTREK guides have the right to deny use of a camera at their sole discretion to ensure the safety of the animals and other participants.

As with any underwater-dive-related activity, it is advised that participants not fly within 4 hours of completing their SeaTREK experience.

Parking is available for guests in the City of Tampa parking lot conveniently located adjacent to The Florida Aquarium at 864 Channelside Dr., Tampa, FL 33602.
