Deep Sea World (Scotland)


So there's this aquarium in Fife, Scotland called Deep Sea World. Basically the concept is that they have a series of tanks filled with different animals and you work your way through them via a tunnel. So basically you can look up and to the sides etc and see all kinds of stuff. The trouble is the tunnels slope downwards and you gradually work towards the bottom of the tanks where the light from the top of the tank barely penetrates. The top of the tank is fine: I'm not afraid of sharks or fish in general but the lower ones have octopi and the "weirder" sharks and are honesty fucking horrible. I went there when I was about seven and refused to look at the glass for the last 60 feet of tank. It's basically like staring out into a horrible abyss and I think it's the reason I find whales and deep water so terrifying now. Has anyone else been there/anything similar?
