The Vinpearl Underwater World is the creation of International Diver Kelly Tarlton and Marine Civil Engineer Ian Mellsop came together and put their dream into a reality. They wanted to let people see and understand the deep-sea world.  This dream first came true in Auckland, New Zealand, January 1985 when the format of aquariums was revolutionized. Vinpearl shares the same dream with Tarlton and Mellsop.

In its first year of operation, this new concept of walking side by side with the underwater creatures became New Zealand’s number one tourist attraction, and was given the Silver Otter Award from the UK tourist board.  Since then, many successful aquariums with this concept has been sprouting down around the world, and in 2008, it finally sets its foot on Vietnam.

The aquarium in Vietnam is possibly the leader in the aquarium technology; very few other aquariums in the world have such a complex system. The Acrylic is what the underwater tunnel is made from. The tunnel has viewing far superior to any other aquarium viewing system in the world.  It is carefully designed to maximize the visitor’s exposure to all facets of life and activity in the main tank, enabling them to see the underwater world through the eyes of a diver.

The length of the tunnel is 90 meters making this the longest underwater tunnel. Visitors can even take photos as they move through the tunnel. The tunnel is 2 meters under sea level designed to withstand 20 times this water load or approximately 40 meters above the tunnel.
