These people spent a night in an underwater Airbnb surrounded by sharks

In late March, Airbnb announced it was raffling off a free night in an exclusive room available one time only: a circular pod submerged in a tank containing 35 sharks.

The stunt would take place in mid-April in the Aquarium of Paris. For one lucky couple from China, that night finally arrived. 

Wu Hao and Tang Di were the intrepid visitors. Here's what they saw.

To qualify for the event, entrants had to write a brief essay describing why they'd make a good fit. They also had to be in relatively good health and be at least 18 years old.

While there was a photographer on-hand, the winners were warned not to take selfies (as much as they may be tempted) because sharks can be sensitive to light.

Freediver and shark conservationist Fred Buyle served as the gracious host. He kicked off the evening by dancing with the sharks.
