Dive-feeding sessions at S.E.A. Aquarium will be back tomorrow

Dive-feeding sessions will return to the S.E.A. Aquarium in Sentosa tomorrow, with aquarists donning garlands and tropical grass skirts to hand-feed marine animals.

The Tiki Warrior Dive Feed, which is part of the aquarium's new The Sea of Tiki theme, will involve around 40,000 animals across 120 species being hand-fed at the Open Ocean Habitat.

The public feeding sessions have been on hold for about a year due to the pandemic.

Visitors will also be able to say hello to the aquarium's mascots - Mika, Mako and Manja - in their themed costumes during a meet-and-greet session and spot special tiki totem icons on a Tropical Trail.

Tickets for local residents will be $35 for adults aged 18 and above, $23 for those over 60, $28 for those aged 13 to 17 and $23 for children aged four to 12. Non-residents aged four to 12 pay $30, and the price is the same for seniors, while those aged 13 to 59 pay $41.
