Meet the sharks with us at Oceanográfico Valencia
We are happy to announce that a new partnership has recently been signed between DAN Europe and the City of Arts and Sciences, Valencia.
This includes the Oceanográfico, the largest aquarium in Europe, and a number of other interesting attractions.
As a result, DAN Europe members will be entitled to get a 10% discount on the entrance fees of all buildings and attractions proposed by the City of Arts and Sciences.
Meet the sharks with us at the Oceanográfico
The shark encounter is a new and thrilling activity proposed by the Oceanigráfico to qualified divers, who will be surrounded by 1.350 specimens of 51 different species, among which the impressive Sand Tiger Shark, Grey Reef Shark, Nurse Shark, Houndshark, Sawfish and Sunfish.
The Oceanográfico will donate 10% of the income of this activity to shark research and conservation projects.
DAN Europe, through its own International Diving Assurance Ltd. (IDA), is the official insurer of the event. Divers who are not yet DAN Europe members will be covered by a IDA short term coverage. Also for this activity DAN Europe members will have the 10% price reduction.
Largest Aquarium in Europe
The Oceanigráfico is a very special aquarium, and not just because it is the largest one in Europe. It contains more than 500 representatives of the world’s main marine ecosystems: dolphins, belugas, walruses, sea lions, seals, penguins, turtles, sharks, rays...you name it, you find it!
Visitors here are able to undertake an actual journey through marine ecosystems.
The Oceangráfico is also a centre for scientific research and environmental and marine fauna conservation activities. This is why DAN Europe considers the partnership with the City of Arts and Sciences a natural fit too.
