Underwater World

This weekend me and a couple of people from Varsity went to Underwater World.  It cost $19 to get in (using my student id for the first time), and was pretty busy.  The queue was actually out the door.  The displays that they had in there were quite impressive.  They have whole aquatic landscapes in each enclosures.  

A grey nurse shark that is in the tank.

Here is me standing in one of the tubes downstairs.  These tubes go through 3 large underwater tanks with lots of sharks, sting rays and other fish in there.  The walls are about 5 inches thick and their curve makes all the fish look approximately 20% smaller.  Even so, they looked pretty big to me.
