The fascinating underwater scenery looks like a moving screensaver. The Discovery Touch Pool at Zone 2: Strait of Malacca and Andaman Sea allow guests to take a close peek into the habitat to learn about marine invertebrates, sea cucumbers and sea stars. It’s therapeutic to see marine creatures weaving in and out of the shafts of light. Spot the nurse shark, bamboo shark and reef shark, just to name a few. There are 12 species of sharks, a total of over 200 of them can be spotted at the Shark Seas where the travellator transports you effortlessly across the ocean floor. Rays gliding past gracefully beyond the glass panel.

It contains more than 18 million litres of water and 50,000 marine creatures reside in it. So if you have not been to Churaumi Aquarium, the Open Ocean habitat extends a similar visual experience, minus the three whale sharks. This actually reminds me of the world famous Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium which I visited in Japan last year. The Open Ocean habitat takes centre stage with the world’s largest viewing panel measuring 36-metre wide by 8 8.3-metre tall, giving the feel that you are standing right on the ocean floor. It holds 45,000,000 litres of water, comprising of 10 zones with 49 habitats. S.E.A Aquarium, the world’s largest aquarium, is home to 100,000 marine animals across over 800 species from sharks, manta rays, goliath grouper to schools of rarely sighted fish all flaunting around gracefully. The Marine Life Park brings together both wet and dry experiences with two world-class attractions – Adventure Cove Waterpark and S.E.A Aquarium. Now we have the world’s largest oceanarium in terms of water volume at Resorts World Sentosa.
