The Deep

 

The Deep was opened in March 2002 and has become a major tourist attraction. The land was used as a shipyard since the 1850's built by Martin Samuelson and today the area is known as "Sammy's Point". Over the last hundred years Hull's maritime industry has declined, the project has breathed new life into the area.

The Deep tells you about the world's oceans, the main attraction is a 10 metre tank which holds 2.5 million litres of water and 87 tonnes of salt. Sharks mix with Eels, Rays and other fish, they do not attack the fish simply by the fact they are fed regularly.

You start the tour at the top and descend down, early on there is a small viewing window which is your first glimpse of the tank, if it is busy don't queue as further on there is a much wider window.

There are different zones to explore such as the Twilight Zone which is about the different sea creatures that inhabit the darker depths of the oceans, some resembling alien life forms.

At the bottom there is a viewing tunnel where you can look up at the fish swimming, there is an underwater lift to take you back to the surface.

The Deep has a shop, the "Deepartment Store", an Observatory a cafe and vantage point to see views of Hull's waterfront.

Update 12th Feb 2010 AMAZON ART WEEKRedtail catfish AT THE DEEP
The Deep, Hull's award-winning aquarium is unveiling a new Amazon display tank and has organised exciting Amazon art activities for February half term. Visitors will be able to view the tank as they arrive and depart from The Deep, and take part in family art activities. Tying in with the theme, a new 3D movie, Turtle Vision is being shown daily.

Katy Duke, The Deep's Curator explains,

"Our new tank displays freshwater species which are found in the River Amazon, one of the most biodiverse regions on earth. This is the first time we have ever displayed freshwater species - a total contrast to our other displays. The waters of the River Amazon are muddy and murky and its inhabitants have therefore evolved browny grey colouring to help them to blend in. They find their way and catch their prey, by using sensory organs such as barbels (whiskers) or shovel-like snouts. Some fish such as electric eels use electric currents to find and catch their prey!"

The Deep is showing a new 3D Movie to tie with the Amazon theme. Turtle Vision is a fantastic animation featuring Sammy the green turtle, including his adventures in the River Amazon.

Families can take part in Amazon Art Week which includes creating butterflies, fish and birds from this richly diverse part of the world. Children can either take their Amazon artwork home with them, or put it on display in the Deep. Redtail Catfish image courtesy of The Deep.

I loved it to bits, even though i think they shoukd have more endangered animals. then if people need do some homework on it they could get some good information on endangered animals.
