Underwater World also hosts innovative, educational programmes for students as well as general public. It is a one of a kind experience that begins from the surface and takes the tourist underwater, to a land explored despite the contrary. The journey begins on the surface of the water, with shallow rock pools around, where the tourists assemble and prepare themselves for the fascinating ride that awaits them. Once descent has been initiated, the tourist is greeted with a host of colourful coral reefs that appear to be breathing life. There are some exquisite ocean animals like starfish, jellyfish, sting ray both huge and tiny to marvel at. It is also possible to actually touch some of them and capture ocean-dwellers that one may not have seen ever before. The experience of literally being inside an aquarium is priceless! After having been in the waters for a considerable amount of time, one approaches a 105-metre long underwater tunnel an Underwater World exclusive that has acrylic windows, is filled with water and houses a variety of underwater predators and some spectacular shoals of fish that leave one in awe of all the beauty that usually remains hidden from our eyes, in the depths of the unexplored. This tunnel showcases almost 500 different species that inhabit the oceanic world and can hold upto 38 million litres of water. The ultimate marine life experience, this attraction is a great testimony of talent for both, nature as well as man. Another thrill offered by the Underwater World is an opportunity to actually get a first hand experience of what it would be like to get underwater and dive with living beings like sharks and rays. To face the ocean-beast all by yourself can be a little challenging but fret not for you will be provided with a diving instructor for your safety, who will be right next to you as you swim and interact with sharks and rays. One can also swim and explore the Coral Reef Tank at their own leisurely pace. Underwater World is not only a tourist destination, it is also an interactive, educational learning centre with programs specifically designed for students and general public. These programs can be experienced by anyone. They focus on increasing awareness regarding conservation and possible actions that the youth can take all of this whilst leaving them with a hint of wonder. These programs are dynamic, innovative and always being improvised upon in order to provide the best kind of education. Once the show is over, which takes a little more than an hour, there is a mini cafe to wear off all the exhaustion from the tour. Delicious food priced at fairly reasonable prices, it is definitely worth a try. After which you can head back to the hotel.
