It was nice and clean. Not too crowded. Kind of expensive. Not a lot to do or see. The kids had fun but we’re bored after 30 mins or so.

We lodge in a hotel right in near to this activity. Not in purpose, but by coincidence. Nonetheless me and my wife we hoped to see a very special place filled with free ocean roaming fish; since the location is in front of the sea.
Instead we entered already alarmed by the price. A bumping 55 US$ per person. No souvenirs or special treats, not even a drink.
The fish were caged in a huge aquarium with some weird mermaids swimming among the fish. Some of the fish were impressive and the aquarium has some glass tunnels where you can see the fish above and aside. But in reality is more hat than cattle.
A total bummer.
The price definitely does not justify the length and quality of the attraction.

The area are not too big, there are so many species in the aquarium and some spot for taking picture as well. But the main aquarium are not that big compare to other places I ever seen. The shark feeding hour is OK, ot would be exciting for children as well as the mermaid show. But they dont have a translation equipment, so you have to deal with Korean languages along the show. This place quite pricy. Dont take a pictire after checking in of you dint want buy any souvenir on this place, coz your foto will be embeded in seaglass souvenir and some how they would make you buy for it for KRW 25.000 😂

Took some friends to visit Busan, and we wanted to check out the aquarium. It was great, we went in the afternoon; so we got a discount. Definitely recommend to go in the afternoon for the discount. The place was smaller than I thought; but inside the interiors are very pretty. You can easily take Instagram picture here. You can also look at many different species; and just have a nice stroll through the aquarium. Inside isn't that big, but still a good time to chill for 1 hour or so. We also saw the mermaid show; and it was nice. Very short show, and the kids love it!

Nothing much to speak about. Small place at Haeundae beach. Does not compare with aquariums at major cities

Like all aquariums this had a wide range of sealife but it seemed more lively with children's show and feeding times etc. It is well laid out and a lot of fun

I didn't see anything about diving with sharks while I was there. Just a normal show like most aquariums.

Can I go into the aquarium? Do I need to know how to scuba dive? Do I need to book in advance to go into the aquarium?
How much is the fees? Thanks.

There is a small boat that they take you in but you have to pay to go along. You cannot get into the water in the aquarium at all. If you desire scuba diving with fish, I recommend you go further north on the South Korean coast where diving is more prevalent and popular.
