SeaWorld Yas Island in Abu Dhabi has introduced the new SeaSub attraction, providing a submersible experience inside its vast, multi-species aquarium.
The SeaSub experience allows guests to explore the region’s largest aquarium and learn more about marine life.
SeaWorld’s new attraction is the world’s first submersible to be designed, built and certified for an aquarium setting.

It can accommodate four guests in addition to SeaWorld Abu Dhabi’s trained pilots.
Guests will embark on a 30-minute tour that reaches depths of more than 20 metres to view marine life such as sharks, rays and schooling fish.
Rob Yordi, general curator at SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, said: “Our goal is to make SeaWorld Abu Dhabi a unique and exciting destination.
“We strive to balance the elements of education, conservation and entertainment all in one place and offer our guests one-of-a-kind experiences that resonate with them for a lifetime.”
He added, “We are delighted to add the SeaSub experience to our repertoire for our inquisitive guests and hope it leads to more unforgettable memories for families.”
Also new at SeaWorld Yas Island are the Discover Scuba Diving and Kayak on the Tropical Lagoon experiences.
The former allows guests to scuba dive without a diving certificate, and the latter enables visitors to explore the park’s Tropical Ocean realm and paddle through the dolphin habitat.
Developed in partnership with Miral, SeaWorld Yas Island opened in 2023. The park covers five indoor levels and more than 183,000 square metres.

Highlights include the Manta Coaster, a traditional souk marketplace, and an interactive game called S·E·A Guardian.
The park contains more than 58 million litres of water and is home to more than 100,000 animals.
In more news, Miral has announced it will open the Yas Waterworld expansion this summer.
