What visitors say
This place is great, it's been in Fife for quite some time. The staff are super friendly! Brilliant with children's, so good theyre liked trained by Disney! It isn't cheap however. And the café there is up there, but....It must take a lot to keep, costs must be astronomical. Go, visit, support your local things. We really enjoyed our trip!

This aquarium had the longest undersea tunnel but lacks a lot of nature like sea plants, I felt like it needs a big renovation and better lighting the facilities were okay and the prices could have been cheaper as they dont reflect what the sea life centre offers. I understand they have sea life tours but the center is lacking in sea creatures, the coffee shop seems to lack good food and no air conditioning it a heat trap. It actually made me feel sad.

WOW!!!! What a day!! Access with 4 guests to the whole place before our dive was awesome!!!! So much to see and so much information re conservation etc, which we are so keen on!!! FFW to our dive!!! Lorna and Ellie were AWESOME!! Everything was broken down, explained, explained again and made us both just feel so relaxed about everything! Ellie was fab with my hubby, he had a wee bit more trepidation about the experience but Ellie had him covered, what a huge asset to the dive team!! Great experience in the training tank/test tank before we sunk 3m down!!! Finally dive time and again, more reassuring from Lorna and Ellie, nothing was forced. Down the ladder.... popped the ears and landed on the surface.... SHAAAAARKS AND RAYS STRAIGHT AWAY!!!! Hi to family and friends (and randoms) in the tunnel and then start scanning for more sharks, rays and everything else!!! 30 mins fleeeeewwww in!! Make sure you male the most of every second you are in the tank.... it, like the rays, flies by!!!!! Do it do it do it!! That's my advice!!! We're away to Tolouse and Barcelona this summer and already looking for a dive!!!! Lorna and Ellie, what a team 👌😀 Can't wait to come back!!!!
