Epcot DiveQuest

Want to add an underwater adventure to your Walt Disney World trip? No, we are not talking about Under the Seas with the Little Mermaid, something even better, Epcot DiveQuest.

Certified PADI divers can sign up for the 3 hour adventure in Epcot’s Caribbean Coral Reef and join Nemo and his friends below the sea. You will get the chance to swim with over 6,000 live sea creatures in the 5.7 -million-gallon saltwater tank. You will enjoy amazing views of sharks, dolphins, eagle rays, turtles, angelfish and more, all thanks to clear waters and absence of currents.

Included in your 3 hour adventure is a backstage tour of the enormous infrastructure that filters and maintains the giant aquarium along with 40 minutes of actual dive time under water.

There are 56 giant windows that family and friends can watch you through and you can even purchase a souvenir DVD of your dive.
