Yes! Our goal is to provide the the best possible sensory deprivation experience possible in an urban area.
The light will stay on for a moment or so to ease you into it, but yes it will shut off completely. The guy told me you can leave your tank open if you like but otherwise it's completely in the dark. My 2nd time going I didn't mind it as much, in fact I think I might of fallen asleep my 2nd time. The light and music that's on in the beginning help you to relax. If you are claustrophobic just remember you can open the tank whenever. I am and I actually love this experience.
