The CRAZIEST experience at S.E.A. Aquarium Singapore

Check out the dive programmes at the S.E.A Aquarium:

After so many years of snorkeling, I FINALLY took the plunge and picked up diving at our very own S.E.A Aquarium by Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore. It was a tonne of learning, both knowledge and practical skills in a very short time period but when we were finally ready, it was an ETHEREAL experience to be diving amongst endless schools of fishes, and a dream to finally swim with Manta Rays.
Diving in an aquarium definitely felt like a cheat code when you don't have to go looking for these beautiful marine creatures, but the experience was still out of this world, and I can't wait to dive deeper into the open sea. The cost of the Open Water PADI dive course is at $548, which is pretty competitive and affordable.

Looks freaking amazing! and it's cheaper than I'd thought it would be.

[@shawneydepp]

Yeah exactly! It actually makes more sense than learning at e.g. Tioman where you save on transport time/costs

[@beixinandrobin]

Been waiting for this video since you last shared about this idea with us and it did not disappoint! Looks absolutely incredible. So happy for you guys 👏🏼👏🏼

[@shawneydepp]

Too kind, thank you guys :’) looking forward to a dive trip together!

[@Miirii_2007]

I will say it again you are the best vlogger no much talking and more viewing I dont know why you are still underrated

[@shawneydepp]

🤍

[@bunniedao3551]

It's awesome video and such an amazing experience! Keeping up 💪🏻

[@alexanderyeung186]

my god this is amazing. great footage and I love the story

[@shawneydepp]

Thank you so much, appreciate it 🍻

[@BernardLau1991]

I’ve been waiting for this edit and it’s amazing! Glad to be have been a part of this project! 💪

[@shawneydepp]

Thanks man! Wouldn’t be possible without your expertise 🙌🏻

[@funkadelic00]

1 qn... how does SEA Aquarium acquire these marine animals. Where did they originate from and how did they eventually end up in the tanks?

[@shawneydepp]

Achieved one of the many dreams to swim with a Manta Ray, and I got to wave at people on the other side of the tank! 😵 Any of you who are considering taking up diving, or miss diving overseas - this is one heck of an experience.

[@Zenus21]

Over 70% of the fishes in that tank is near extinction 😔. Many has been on our dining table.

[@shawneydepp]

Damn. I need to read up more about that

[@awesomecollections]

Awesome vid and what an experience!

[@CaptKenneth]

Wow nice video bro ❤ awesome videography! Am I allowed to bring my own dive gear and do they have a camera man for hire? 😅

[@shawneydepp]

Thank you 🙏🏻 I’m not sure about the dive gear and cameraman though, cos I got permission for filming with rws and had a friend to film the dive scenes

[@CaptKenneth]

@@shawneydepp awesome man, hope you are still diving regularly

[@iamignored7052]

What an amazing experience! Thank you for sharing this is in such detail and beauty.

[@jonathanwzx]

Haha I don't get the KZbin algorithm, how does this video have so little views?!?! I've rewatched this so many times

[@jaek8489]

I love it. Thank you for the amazing content🙂

[@patrickaustin6490]

This is so beautiful! Good job man. :)

[@shawneydepp]

It was a beautiful experience. Cheers man 🍻

[@kq3422]

omg was just thinking of doing this diving course and here comes your video!

[@JeremiahTang]

from tamago's comment and haha you did a SEA aquarium video too.. insane quality !

[@shawneydepp]

Haha schweet! 🤙🏻

[@francescadiana]

So beautiful! I tried diving once in the ocean and everything was really rushed. It was a very bad experience for me and I'm scared to try it again. I will definitely try it again, but this time not in open water. 👌

[@shawneydepp]

Oh man, sorry to hear that. Dive lessons shouldn’t be rushed as there can be so many things happening and to be aware of at the same time. The aquarium def helped to instill that bit of confidence esp with the first dive. Hope you can find somewhere with calmer waters to try again!

[@athirahfasihah5532]

It’s $250 excluding admission fees ADVENTURE COVE for the dive OPEN OCEAN. So you went for 3 days. Do you have to pay consecutively those 3 days or no…

[@shawneydepp]

That is the single dive pricing. For the padi open water course, it’s $548 for all 3 days

[@user-oh6wb5rj2q]

👍🏻

[@meowth27]

Diving in open water, you need to worry about more things. Boat, waves, current, weather, visibility etc. Such as getting stung by invisible jellyfish during your safety stop or pulled down by down current. Tank is controlled in a good way, but when you're out for your open water, do pay close attention and assume you know nothing for first few dives. Enjoy the open water.

[@shawneydepp]

Thanks for the heads up, def gonna be really cautious for the next open water dive and would prolly even get a refresher when the time comes

[@t0015363f]

Your video super dopeeeee!!!!

[@shawneydepp]

Thanks man! 👊🏻

[@johnwig285]

I would go for this any day instead of actual sea. At the end of the day, the purpose of picking up diving is to explore what's below. If we go for local open water courses, it's usually at Pulau Hantu & the visibility is poor not to mention obviously there wont be variety of fishes. I rather spend my money being able to dive underwater and see everything S.E.A. aquarium has to offer.

[@shawneydepp]

Yeah if you’re learning open water in Singapore, don’t bother with anywhere else other than SEA aquarium. You get to learn the fundamentals in conditions that are less stressful
