Erth's Shark Dive

An all new show from the creators of Erth's Dinosaur Zoo Live.

It's a shark dive, but not as you know it!

Delve deep to discover what swims beneath the surface. 
Come face to face with an array of enchanting sea life that has existed from deep within our past to the rich biodiversity that now inhabits the world’s oceans. 

Presented as a live documentary and interactive stage show, the exquisite puppets of Erth’s Shark Dive will enchant and delight, and challenge you to reconsider our own role in protecting these much- maligned magnificent creatures. 

You won’t encounter any Hollywood jump scares here: you will be surprised at how beautiful these creatures actually are. Take the risk and have your expectations turned upside down!

Encounter bull sharks, grey nurses and the majestic great white shark in this tantalising underwater experience from one of Australia’s foremost visual theatre companies.  

Erth’s Shark Dive was originally commissioned for the Australian Museum, and has been presented at the Australian National Maritime Museum, Sydney Festival and Brisbane Festival before touring the USA.
