Q: What if I’m claustrophobic?

Being in the tanks is more like floating in outer space than being shut in a box. You’re always in control of your environment, and even people with extreme claustrophobia have reported having no problems during their time in the tank. You can always leave the door open for as long as you like – again, you’re in control.

Q: Can I float if its ‘that-time-of-the-month’?

Yes. Just follow the same protocol you would for a swimming pool.

Q: Do I need to bring anything?

If you have longer hair, you may want to bring a comb. Also, something to put your contact lenses into while you’re in the tank. Other than that, we provide everything you need (towels, robes, earplugs, body wash/shampoo, moisturizer, tea, water,..)

Q: What kind of float tanks do we have?

We have 5 Quest Rooms from Superior Float Tanks .

Q: Can more than one person float in a tank at a time?

Only one person per tank. We have five float tanks and we stagger our floats so up to 3 people can come float simultaneously in our centre. Double-wide tanks do exist, but we feel that they take away from the whole ‘sensory deprivation’ experience.

Q: Do I have to stay in the whole time?

There aren’t any latches on the tank doors, and you can get out anytime. That being said, the 60-minutes usually goes by waaaay faster than you’d expect.

Q: What’s the longest someone has been in the tank?

There is a float centre in Portland Oregon called Float On that had an endurance athlete rent a room for a 24 hour period and apparently floated for most of that time! We haven’t heard of anyone floating longer than that.
