I organized a trip of 13 divers to SCUBA dive in the Epcot aquarium, and it was an amazing experience! Terry and Barry did a great job securing our time slot and informing me of the details, and the dive staff including Bruce, Mike, Mike, and Isaac were wonderful, attentive, and top notch. Everyone in my group from the newly... More

It was a great drive. The dm and staff were all very friendly and knowledgable. It didn't matter the number of previous dives you had or certification level, everyone was treated equally. It was great to get so close to so many animals in one place - sea turtles, sharks, groupers and numerous other species. I really enjoyed interacting with... More

If you are a certified diver, don't miss this. Its not cheap $175, but its well worth it. It is a 3 hour back stage tour of the 5.7 million gallon aquarium, and included 40 minutes in the tank! There were 4 sharks in the tank, and I got less than 2 feet from an 8 ft black tip. I... More

My son and husband signed up for Divequest (they had to wait a day to get a time slot so sign up early). They are both certified divers (which is required) and loved it! You first get a behind the scenes tour of the acquarium, then suit up to swim in the acquarium. I am not a diver, so I... More

This was my first time doing Divequest and my boyfriends 3rd time I think. Diving an aquarium is unique experience and would highly recommend it! The tour behind the scenes was very nice and the fact that they get the dive gear sizes just perfect was amazing since we just filled out a small questionare.It's the magic of Disney I... More

I surprised my wife during our first trip to WDW with a visit to DiveQuest. It ended up being the best part of our trip! The staff is kind, funny, and knowledgable. We got to see some behind-the-scenes stuff at Epcot and, of course, dive with sharks, turtles, and a ton of fish. Unfortunately, the rays were not out when... More

I just returned from a vacation at Walt Disney World and while there I dove in the aquarium at Epcot (a birthday gift from my wife). The dive was great, the staff were very freindly and professional, the equipment was in great shape, the whole process was very easy. I was lucky in that there were only 4 in my... More

My girlfriend and I did this on Friday 13th January 2012. Having both qualified as BSAC Sports Divers in Guernsey, UK in the last year, I bought this as a Christmas present for her as a change to the usual cold water diving that we are used to. The booking process was a bit of a farce, having to ring... More

I've been wanting to dive in an aquarium for some time. This was a good fun dive. They give you a "backstage" tour before showing you to the locker room. The guides are very knowledge and they are very safety conscience (plenty of divemasters in the water keeping an eye out). It's a 40 minute dive in 25 feet of... More
