Aquatrek Xtreme is the world’s deepest sea trek. Located in Atlantis the Palm, it is on its way to becoming every adventure junkies favourite attraction in Dubai. Visitors and guests can be a part of this adventure by heading to the Ambassador Lagoon within the Lost Chambers Aquarium – the massive 2.9 million gallon water tank is home 65,000 marine animals including sharks, mantas and schools of multi-coloured fish.
The great thing about the Aquatrek Extreme adventure is that you don’t need to be an expert diver or a gifted swimmer to enjoy it.

However, at the Aquatic Xtreme, you won’t need hours and hours of training and instructions. The team of experts at Atlantis the Palm will take you down the massive Ambassador Lagoon Aquarium and guide you throughout the sea trek.
You’ll get footwear, wetsuit, towels and a specially designed helmet for the air supply for your underwater adventure. Once you’ve suited up, the instructors gently guide you down the Aquatrek pool ladder, into the water, allowing you plenty of time to get comfortable with the water and your gear.
The Aquatrek staff will take care of your belongings, however, visitors are required to bring their own swimwear.
HOW DOES THE AQUATREK XTREME WORK?
Visitors and hotel guests with a booking for the Aquatrek Xtreme will be first taken to the Ambassador Lagoon Aquarium. Once suited, the sea trek visitors will descend into the aquarium using a custom-fabricated Aquatrek ladder, themed to look like ruins from the Lost City of Atlantis. At the bottom, trekkers wander around ancient-looking artefacts, with curious sea life swimming all around and spectators waving from the other side of the acrylic. Giant sharks, stingrays and other species of marine animals will surround you for a memorable experience.
