Hi everyone. I have a pretty bad shark phobia, but my kids are dying to go to Atlantis. Are we talking 7' sharks or 20' sharks? Do you think it's possible to enjoy the trip if you're afraid of sharks? To be clear, I'm talking about the sharks living in the aquarium at the hotel. And believe me I know--they're in the tank and I'm safe. If you have ever had a phobia about something, you'll understand that a phobic fear tends to be irrational. I'm working on it!! Thanks!

The sharks in the tank are NOT 20'. They are maybe 6 to 10 feet long.
The "Dig" and aquariums there are amazing. There are many sections of the "Dig" that do not have any sharks in them.

Unfortunately there are little sharks pretty much all over the hotel, some rides take you through the tanks (safely), some areas of the hotel have them in the small low lying enclosures by the rooms, and they are in the larger aquarium. Buuut if it makes you feel better we did an experience where we dived with them in the tanks and they couldn't care less about seeing a human. I know it's hard to get over the fear, but they really aren't interested in attacking you.
