It may be shark week right now, but The Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta is about to get a sweet new shark tank this year that will help you celebrate the salty sea dogs year-round.

The new exhibit will be known as SHARKS! Predators of the Deep, and will take you from fear to fascination as you dive deep to observe six different species of the often misunderstood sea creatures.

The 185-foot long shark gallery will hold 1.2 million gallons of water and be 20 feet deep.

Visitors will be immersed in the shark's mysterious underwater world with floor-to-ceiling acrylic viewing windows while learning about the many challenges sharks face, including habitat loss alongside other human impacts.

The SHARKS! exhibit will also feature a cage diving with sharks and shark sting ray immersion experience. The new gallery is currently slated to open in the Fall of 2020.
