Deep Sea World is Scotland's National Aquarium, it's one hundred and twelve meters of underwater tunnels are the largest in the world. What's more it's situated nine miles north of Edinburgh with easy access by either road or rail.

Consisting of two main viewing areas, the display tanks, and the underwater tunnel it provides enough aquatic life for all tastes. Among the display areas you can view piranhas, tropical fish, rays and amazonian fish. That's not to mention the Lion fish, octopuses, puffer fish and the odd conger eel.

Once that has been absorbed venture downstairs to the powered walkway that guides you around the tunnel. Then watch tiger sharks, rays, and conger eels swim freely above your head. A host of other fish occupy this under water domain, with one of the highlights being the divers feeding time, usually held on the hour.
