Sharks was good, but pricey. Lunch (3 adults, 5 kids) was $105. I could go in and just sit at the bar - it's an aquarium that's about 6" deep, and is the entire bar! It's got blennies, mandarins, flame angels, and various other small fish. It's too cool!

One thing that I noticed, is that all of the shark species there are docile. The most agressive shark they have there are some small black tips.
 
Yeah, everything at the park is a bit on the $$$ high side. Although one of the things I like is that after the 9/11 attacks thaey didn't lay anyone off like the other parks did. And they have promotional deals for FD/PD employees.

Over 400 fish, 250lb sea Turtles, 2 nurse sharks, schools of Red and black drum, sting rays, catfish, spadefish and various other species in a 450,000 gallon oceanarium. Its a good dive at a decent price. Around 60-65 dollars, and that includes admission in the park. I did a trip through a local diveshop in orlando www.nwdivers.com and paid 59 dollars and that included a tank.
If you live anyhere near it I definetly recommend it. :yellow:

Even up here in the frigid North country, aquarium diving is catching on. Underwater Adventures at the Mall of America (MOA) in Minneapolis MN offers a four-hour "Swim with the Sharks" adventure that includes a Top of the Tanks tour of the facilities, and two dives--one in the freshwater Fisherman's Hollow (pike, muskies, catfish) and the other in Shark Cove (reef, nurse, sandtiger). The cost is a fairly steep $175 and you bring all your own equipment except tank and weights.

A nice benefit of diving at MOA is that you can dive with friends in the afternoon, dry off and catch a great meal at one of the local restaurants, all under the same roof.
