Default Probably a silly question - giant goldfish bowls!

OK, so not necessarily a goldfish bowl, but I was just wandering whether
anyone knows of anywhere where a club could hire a big portable tank for
diving in.
Basically, something around 2m deep, minimum 3x3m square or bigger, which we
could hire, put somewhere, and have someone diving in it. With see through
sides or windows too.
Basically, its something a couple of us in our club discussed a month or two
ago, not at all seriously mind, and something just reminded me of it and I
thought i'd find out if it would actually be possible.

The idea, since being a Uni club we have a big potential for new members, is
to do something at one of our sports fayre / sports week things - usually
theres nothing much we can do as a club since diving isn't really a
spectator sport! We have a sports week though, so I was thinking try to
have someone in there 24/7 for the week, with sponsorship, and it'd be good
publicity for the club within the Uni...

Again, I realise this is a silly idea, and will probably never happen, but
thinking about it I would be interested to know if such tanks are available,
where from, and very very roughly how much it would cost.

Any ideas?

David

No, no, no - what I meant to say was

"..it was only about a metre HIGH and about 6m wide..."

Serves me right for emailing when my mind is elsewhere.

Try dives are probably a better idea.
