The info is from the disney website. I have also given you a link. I have never tried it. I have thought about it, but diving in a fish tank just doesn't excite me.
Good luck and have fun if you try it.

My brothers in law and their girlfriends did this last trip. Now, the one girlfriend, their family takes trips to the keys and other places to scuba dive, and she said that Divequest was worth the trip just to do that alone. 
Nobody left disappointed. You do need to be certified (which I'm sure was mentioned, I didn't read all the posts) and bring your scuba cert., a photo id, and a swim suit. When you call to make the reservation this will all be told to you.

I've never done DiveQuest because I'm not scuba certified, but I have done the AquaSeas tour...TWICE! It's alot like the divequest program but cheaper and you can't actually dive under the surface of the water. They give you an air tank to breath from and you just kinda swim around the top of the tanks. It was really cool and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Once I get certified then I'm going to do the Divequest program. I love the ocean and this is a great experiance for anyone who enjoys this type of thing. Sign up for it and do it if you have the money, you won't regret it!:sohappy: :sohappy:

Yeah.. I went with him! It was a very good time... It was one of my first experiences with that sort of thing and I loved it. I think that I may do it again over the summer. There was only one draw back that was caused by a hand flying by my face mask and scared me... Lots of bubbles and lots of laughs... I second, if you can.. totally go for it and take a dive!
