Turkuazoo Aquarium in Istanbul

Aquabatix enjoyed enormous success in Istanbul performing in the largest Aquarium in Europe, Turkuazoo . Two synchronised swimming athletes braved the cold waters of the Aquarium containing sharks and sting rays, to perform a bespoke choreographed underwater routine. Using their unique skills and breathold abilities, they told the love story of a mermaid who saves a shipwrecked man from a sinking ship and they fall in love and live happily ever after in her underwater kingdom.

The ten minute performances took place three times a day over a four day period between 10-13 February and were very well received by the thousands of spectators that watched each day.

''It was pleasure to work with Aquabatix, in Turkey, Istanbul. Everybody loved the show and the athletes were great, they have very positive attitudes as well as fabulous competence. It was not just a one time performance, it was the first step of a friendship and partnership for the future. We are anxiously waiting to host Aquabatix again for a much bigger performance together in Istanbul. Thank you for everything!''
