Most people wouldn’t expect to go scuba diving in Scottsdale, AZ, but the OdySea Aquarium defies that logic with its SeaTREK exhibit.
The largest aquarium in the Southwest, OdySea Aquarium offers plenty of unique exhibits, from the globe-shaped aquariums fourteen feet in the air in the Aqua Lobby to the Penguin Interaction Program, where guests can get up close their adorable, African black-footed penguins. But SeaTREK stands out because it allows visitors to get close to the animals by literally diving under the water.
“It’s an amazing experience,” says Greg Charbeneau, the General Manager at OdySea Aquarium. “What’s great about SeaTREK is you don’t have to be scuba certified.”
SeaTREK isn’t exclusive to OdySea Aquarium – it can be found in twenty-seven countries across five continents – but like everything else OdySea does, it’s incredibly unique. “We’re the first in the United States at an indoor aquarium, and we’re the first to showcase animals from the Australian Great Barrier Reef,” Charbeneau explains.
