Eddie was at the Weymouth Sea Life Park to open a bird of prey show?but took the opportunity to fulfill a long-held ambition when he dived in a tank full of tropical sharks. "Eddie is an enthusiastic snorkeler and asked if he could take the plunge in our ocean tank," said Sea Life boss Craig Dunkerley. "It's not something we allow very often, but he's such a good sport we couldn't turn him down?and he did agree to do a bit of window cleaning while he was in there."
