A travel booking company is offering a free overnight stay at an underwater glass bedroom surrounded by 35 sharks at the Paris Aquarium.

Three lucky winners and their guests will be invited to stay at the shark infested aquarium by entering a free competition with Airbnb Ireland, explaining their reasoning as to why they would want to spend a night submerged in a tank with sharks.

KCTV5 reports:

In addition to its fearsome inhabitants, the tank contains 3 million liters (nearly 800,000 gallons) of water.

The sleepovers will take place on April 11, 12 or 13.sharks

Interested parties are invited to apply to win through a listing on Airbnb.

Applicants must be at least 18 and in good physical health.

Record-setting free diver, photographer and shark enthusiast Fred Buyle will host the underwater event, and a marine biologist will be on hand to shed light on the mysterious life of sharks.
