Your Time in Tunnel

Indoor Skydiving is a safe and addictingly fun way for you to taste the thrill of skydiving without an airplane or parachute. No experience is necessary and just about anyone of any age can participate.

Before your first flight you will attend a brief training class covering the basics of Indoor Skydiving (Bodyflight). After watching a short video your instructor will teach you proper body position and flight technique, the hand signals used in the wind tunnel and safety concerns. Your instructor will then help you suit up in a specialized flight suit, earplugs, goggles and a helmet. Once your equipment is all properly prepared your instructor will lead you into the wind tunnel and provide hands on assistance so your flight is as safe and enjoyable as possible. On your first time your entire experience will take about an hour.

Training classes begin every 30 minutes and registration is first come first served. The best time to fly is always early in the day. Hungry for more wind? New to skydiving and looking to improve your skills? The more you fly the more you will learn about how to control your body in 120 mph of wind. In one weekend you can learn the body control techniques that would take months to learn at a drop zone. Just like any other extreme sport learning to fly takes a lot of practice, the challenge is half the fun. Vegas Indoor Skydiving has served as a valuable training resource for experts and novices since 1982

Introduction

Welcome to the deep blue world of Shark Reef. Here you will come face-to-face with some of the earth’s most fascinating creatures in North America’s only predator-based aquarium and exhibit. See sharks of all kinds, along with sawfish, giant rays, endangered green sea turtles, piranha, moon jellies and the rare golden crocodiles. In all, there are over 2,000 animals in 1.6 million gallons of seawater.

Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay is not your typical aquarium. It’s a total sensory experience designed to transport visitors to an undersea ocean of fantastic sights, sounds and encounters. Featuring dangerous and unusual aquatic animals from the world’s tropical waters, Shark Reef Aquarium takes visitors on a journey through an ancient temple slowly being claimed by the sea.

Fourteen breathtaking exhibits are devoted to dangerous aquatic predators. The largest exhibit is the 1.3 million gallon shipwreck where visitors experience an almost 360-degree view, teeming with sharks and fish, through an acrylic tunnel. The Touch Pool is a popular attraction, where guests can touch an ever-changing collection of animals including sharks, rays or horseshoe crabs. More than 2,000 animals are displayed at Shark Reef Aquarium, over 100 different species and featuring 15 species of sharks.
