Sounds pretty cool right? So, what is a virtual aquarium? Well, we\u2019re glad you asked.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deep Sea World\u2019s virtual aquarium is like being transported underwater into the depths of the ocean in a matter of seconds. You can chase schools of tropical fish through the waves and across the 7-metre virtual tank, or poke your nose into the coral reefs and discover what sea creatures are hiding right in front of you.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But do you want to know the best part? Oh yes, it gets even better. On your visit to the virtual tank, you can draw and create your own fish, whether it\u2019s hot pink with super shiny scales or bright blue and very very small. And just like that, your very own fin-tastic friend will magically come to life in the virtual tank. Watch it swim amongst the sea life and explore the underwater world.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can\u2019t wait for some Aquasketch fun?
