Has anyone "Dived With the Sharks" at UW World at the Mall of America? How was it, and would you recommend it to others?
Thanks....

thanks for the info guys!

If you have, I think, 5 people, you can get a discount if you belong to a "dive club"...At least thats the way it rolled out for us last time. And the dive is really a blast!!! And tell them you don't want the same amount of weight for both dives. They will overweight you for the fresh-water side so you don't have to switch weights in-between.

I've also been interested in diving the MOA. Keep us posted as to how it turned out.

I have done the MOA, and would definitely dive it again, though it's a great winter dive, when there's nothing else available.

It was really cool, I'll definately be doing it again this winter. Hand feeding sturgeons is a blast, and I found a shark tooth as well. Finders keepers!

I'd love to go this winter as well. Keep me/us posted.

Today a group of us dove at UnderWater World at the MOA. It was a truly fantastic time. The sturgeon are huge! I found quite the collection of shark teeth in the Cove as well. I highly recommend this to anyone who has the diving itch this winter.
If anyone has questions I would be happy to answer....
