I believe they have a new shrimp boat exhibit as well, looked pretty cool from what I saw. I asked Greg if there was any possibility of getting into one of the tanks to take some photos but he did not believe this was something normally offered. I know they have volunteers that clean the inside of the tanks but they are on some kind of Huka system.

I have taken my camera into the reef tank and taken photos of the kids. Yes we do use a surface supplied air source. I will be there this week, dressed as a pirate in the tank. There will also be a mermaid in there with me. If I get the time I will check out the Shark area.

That's really terrific DD. We are proud to know you. I'm quite serious. Very neat to have your work recognized and used so publicly.

Now get yourself down here to NC and we'll get you some shark photos!

Here are a few of the original photos to give you an idea of what he had to work with.....
You are an amazing photographer! All my personal biases aside, the aquarium scored by getting your pictures to use!

Illini_Fan makes an awesome diver silhouette!
