If you're one of those people who derives pleasure from being scared senseless, then this will certainly interest you.

It's the aptly-named "Cage of Death" at wildlife park Crocosaurus Cove in Darwin, Australia, where you can basically pay to be dunked in an acrylic tank alongside a 5-metre-long saltwater crocodile. Aren't you thrilled?

Each diving session lasts 15 minutes, with the option of one or two people inside the tank. It's also not the cheapest of thrills, setting one back A$165 (US$125) for a single person, or A$250 (US$190) for two.

You also have to be above 15 years of age to enter the Cage of Death, and if you're under 18 you'll need a parent or an adult beside you in the cage too. There's also a 20 minute safety briefing that you'll need to complete before diving, you know, just in case.

At the end of it all, you can count on getting extremely close to one of the world's most feared animals, and score yourself a new profile picture while you're at it!

You'll just need to push through that overwhelming sense of horror, first.
