The children’s television characters have been greeting young explorers at the Brighton aquarium over Easter, from March 30 to April 22.

Children can come face-to-fin with the aquarium’s fascinating family of resident sharks, solve mind-bending puzzles of the mystery tanks and take part in a meet and greet with Shellington and Kwazii.

A Sea Life spokesperson said: “Find out which sharks can live to be 400 years old, which sharks can smell a single drop of blood in an Olympic size swimming pool and why some sharks have skin as rough as sandpaper.

Shellington will be on hand to greet families at the Sea Life Centre

“Visit our Octonauts art zone, take a special dive of discovery with Dashi and follow instructions from Captain Barnacles to make a shark puppet.

“Honorary Octonauts and their families can capture their special day in the Octonauts photo area for a treasured memento of their magical marine expedition, while all children will receive a personalised certificate with Captain Barnacle’s stamp of approval.”

Octonauts: Shark Mission is included in SEA LIFE Brighton’s usual admission price, with tickets starting from £10.50 per person when pre-booking online.
