Let's Dive in!

I was browsing the Aquarium of the Pacific site just to see what exhibits they had and found this:

Aquarium Education Program

Dive Immersion


Your chance to dive in an Aquarium exhibit!

For the first-time ever general certified divers are now invited to dive into the Aquarium of the Pacific.
Journey into our warm, 350,000-gallon Tropical Reef Habitat and meet more than 1000 tropical fish up close and personal. In this two and a half hour experience, you get a personal behind-the-scenes tour of our dive program, a dive in our largest exhibit, a certificate of completion, souvenir towel, use of an underwater camera, and a memory card of your photos to take home. You may also bring your own underwater camera. All equipment provided. You may bring your own mask and booties. A minimum of an Open Water certification from a nationally recognized scuba certifying agency and a picture I.D. are required and must be brought with you on your diving day.

How cool is that? ....for just the one tank it's $299

 

You can do the same thing at EPCOT in orlando in their 5 Million gallon tank. It is awesome! Cost is like $150 for a 50 minute dive. I have done it a couple of times, it really is a lot of fun.

 

That's pretty sweet!
