Are you up for a diving ADVENTURE in The Seas with Nemo & Friends Pavilion in EPCOT? SCUBA-certified guests can DIVE into the park with EPCOT Seas Adventure — DiveQuest!
This truly unique experience offers participants the opportunity to dive in EPCOT’s current-free 5.7-million-gallon saltwater aquarium which is home to over 2,000 sea creatures including — but not limited to — sea turtles, reef fish, stingrays, and sharks!
