| Post subject: Scuba Diving |
Hi All,
I'm a Scuba Diving practicant, but did not have any dive here in China yet since when I moved.
Someone knows if is possible to dive in the Shanghai area, withou flying out?
Any place to buy equipments?
PADI or similars in SH?
Thanks |

There is a dive club in Aquaria 21 (Changfeng Park, 451 Daduhe lu). You can dive in their 2.2 million litre oceanarium with all the sharks, turtles, etc. Gears are available. PADI I guess. |

I've been there and saw a Russian guy who trains the cetaceans. He must be one of the persons who organize scuba diving there. But they charge quite a lot, I will probably try it out when it's warmer.
Diving in a Aquaria must be much safer than in the sea. The sharks are trained not to eat people, right?  And there should be more turtles, too. Will I have a chance to have a ride on one of the turtle?

Seems you can. You can call Anthony Aucutt, the membership & functions manager, for more info (62866399). He's a nice guy and I'm sure you'll get all the info you need. |
