Where to Find Flotation Tanks
If the idea of floating peacefully in a quiet tank of body-temperature saltwater sounds like a blissful way to ease stress and encourage healing, but the thought of being in a dark, enclosed tank is frightening, don’t worry.
Although some flotation tanks are pod-like, requiring you to enter through a hatch, you can leave the hatch open if you feel uncomfortable. As you relax and adjust to the environment, you can close the hatch as much or as little as you like; you maintain control.
Getting into other types of flotation tanks is like getting into a bathtub or shower: You enter through a sliding door and have more headroom. Once you lie down in the water, you can control the amount of light within the tank. You can also choose to listen to music or enjoy total quiet by having control over the sound system.
