Mississippi Aquarium has launched the highly awaited SeaTREK experience. Designed by Sub Sea Systems, the helmet diving experience enables visitors to swim among the sea-life and become part of the aquarium’s underwater habitat in a near zero-gravity system.

Divers will get up close to the diverse range of fish and sea-life on display at the aquarium, including sharks, rays ad much more. The underwater experience lasts for approximately 20 minutes.

The experience is available for guests over the age of ten. Using specialised SeaTREK diving helmets, non-swimmers can join in and multi-generations can walk underwater in a fully guided tour.

The SeaTREK experience is largest guided helmet diving program in the world, available in 27 countries on five continents.

Jeff Gibula, director of facility operations at Mississippi Aquarium, said: ““We are excited to launch the SeaTREK experience. This experience allows guests the unique opportunity to experience marine life up close, in our main habitat.”
