That's really disappointing. I always looked forward to seeing that show at the State Fair every year.

I dove the shark tank at the Camden aquarium in NJ this weekend, and it was a lot of fun. The sharks were amazing up close. 26 of them in the tank, and 3 of us.

Manly Oceanworld dive is very cool. They stopped doing it for a while but have started again. The "Leyton Hewitt sock puppet" to avoid damage to the rays on your reg/mask as they glide over you is interesting.
I'm a diver for the Oregon Coast Aquarium....
Clean the glass, and vaccume up the shark Poop... It's great !! My family always comes and my girls get to see me behind the glass. There are tubes for the visitors to go through so the animals are all around them.
THe best part is the visitors are sometimes more excited to see the divers... It's very rewarding to do....
And BTW.. A PADI habitat coarse was required before getting into the tanks....

How fun it that?
I used to be a diver at the aquarium in Perth, Western Australia, and loved it. Always fun to take people in, to wave at those outside looking in and to see what our residents were up to.
It's not all fun and games when you work there, but I really enjoyed it. I'm not a big fan of aquariums and decidedly less so after working in one - there are aquariums I refuse to go to and those that I think have something valid to offer (Monterey being one).

As a volunteer diver at the Monterey Bay Aquarium for over 7 years, I can easily say that it's fantastic! I truly enjoy my experiences there. Everyone, from the other volunteers, staff, and guests of MBA are great to be with.
Our responsibilities range from using an underwater vacuum (siphon), cleaning windows, feeding the animals, etc. Some of the dives are long and cold, but they're necessary to keep the exhibits in good condition.
