The World's only Submarium Discover the story of the world's oceans on a dramatic journey back in time

Hull's award winning The Deep opened in March 2002. The building was designed by world class architect, Sir Terry Farrell. The deep has exceeded all expectations. With over two million paying customers and more than twenty-thousand educational visits it has become one of Hull's most popular destinations. The deep represents over £40m worth of investment and has provided up to fifty jobs for local people.

See several species of shark including the most aggressive - the Grey Reef Shark. Witness huge marine dinosaurs, Congor eels and much more including the new arrival of Europe's first pair of green sawfish - a highly endangered species of shark.

The Deep has three thousand animals in their collection made up of two-hundred and fifty species. There are thirteen species of shark including three species of Ray. The largest are the Sand Tiger Sharks.

A new extension to the Deep is home to the world's largest twilight exhibition housing animals like Giant Japanese Spider Crabs, Nautilus and Giant Pacific Octopus. The twilight part of the name refers to the depths at which these animals live - an area which has very little known about it.
