There are few things more frightening than a close encounter with a man-eating shark.
But a tank full of the toothy fish combined with a large group of visiting nudists could perhaps top that.
On Thursday 10 a group of naturists wisited Newquay’s Blue Reef Aquarium to enjoy close encounters with razor-toothed sharks.
The visit, which was organised as part of Nudefest 2014, was believed to be one of the biggest ever nude group visits to a UK aquarium.
Nudefest is an annual event organised by British Naturism which attracts hundreds of naturists from across the country to the South West.
During their visit to Blue Reef, members took a tour around the displays, taking part in a series of talks and feeding demonstrations by the aquarium’s aquarists.
British Naturism’s Andrew Welch said: “Nudefest is a well-established and hugely popular event in the naturist calendar and we are delighted to have returned to Cornwall this year.
“Guests were very excited by the prospect of a nude trip to one of Cornwall’s most popular tourist destinations,” he added.
As well as visiting Blue Reef, the naturists also went scuba diving and enjoyed a fishing trip during their week-long stay at Newperran Holiday Park.
Blue Reef Aquarium’s Steve Matchett said: “This will be the third time we have hosted a naturist event here at the aquarium.
“Our aquarists are incredibly enthusiastic about the aquarium and promoting awareness of the marine environment and I’m sure that any initial nerves will soon be forgotten and they’ll just get on with giving the guests a fantastic and highly entertaining visit,” he added.
