Two Oceans Aquarium to host 8th International Aquarium Congress

Cape Town's world renowned Two Oceans Aquarium all set to impress delegates from around the world


The Two Oceans Aquarium
, in partnership with the Cape Town International Convention Centre Bureau, has successfully won the bid to host the 8th International Aquarium Congress in 2012.

Having competed against facilities in Europe, the aquarium’s successful bid means that the Congress will be held for the first time not only in Africa, but also in the southern hemisphere!

Apart from the fact that Cape Town has ample capacity to host delegates to the Congress in world-class facilities and hotels, delegates will have unique opportunities to experience the best that South Africa has to offer in terms of its natural beauty and the wonders of its bountiful animal and plant life.

We have no doubt that Cape Town will enthrall the delegates with its warm hospitality, magnificent scenery and wide range of activities.

Did you know you can actually dive with sharks at the Aquarium, without the cage…?

If you are a Scuba diver and have your PADI this would certainly impress your friends back home even more than doing a Shark Cage Dive Tour in Cape Town.
