Ever wonder what it’s like to live under water?

Well that could be a dream come true for 3 lucky individuals.

AirBnB is offering people a chance to sleep with the fishes with a contest for a free one nights stay in a shark-tank bedroom.

Contest winners will spend the night in a glass bedroom suspended inside the shark tank at the Aquarium de Paris while 35 sleepless sharks swim around on the other side of the glass.

The bedroom offers a 360 degree view of the shark’s home.

Winners will be treated to a guided tour and dinner. A shark expert will also dive into the tank for a demonstration.

To enter, individuals must submitt a 50 to 550 word essay explaining why they should be chosen to sleep with the sharks.

Essays can be written in 6 different languages.

There are some restrictions to the contest. Must be 18 years or older, medically fit to climb in and out of the bedroom. Must not exceed over 418 Lbs. No selfies after dark, avoid watching Jaws before the sleepover and no sleepwalking or night swimming.
