Visitors to the Neptune aquarium in Saint Petersburg were recently surprised to see a waltz performed directly underwater by a diver with a shark.
The unusual and almost surreal video was published on December 30 in social networks. We can see a man performing a languorous dance by fastening his arm tenderly around the waist of a freaking shark. You heard it right, a diver from the Neptune aquarium in Saint Petersburg takes the fin of a fish in his hand and performs several waltz sessions.
The shark stands upright and turns, full of grace, in the arms of its partner, while many other fish swim all around without paying attention to the two lovebirds.
The scene was filmed on October 27. The center has an area of 5,000 m2 and houses 57 aquariums from 10 to 750 liters of water. The largest, up to five meters deep, houses a tunnel with a 35-meter-long walkway. Its window is eight centimeters thick.
More than 2,000 saltwater and freshwater fish, invertebrates and marine mammals of about 200 species have been shown to visitors since the aquarium opened on April 27, 2006.
