I had an interesting dive today. My dad and I are volunteer divers for Sea Center Texas in Lake Jackson. It's a small aquarium run by Texas Parks and Wildlife. Today was our first dive. Spent about 45 minutes cleaning the walls and windows of the Gulf Tank. They have a pretty good selection of fish including Nurse Sharks, Drum, Goliath Grouper and Snapper. The Sharks are very friendly and like to come check you out now and then. The Grouper is new to the tank. It's a replacement to the 300 pounder that died earlier this year. The new guy is still a little weary of us fish that walk and breathe air.
There are 2 other tanks to dive in. The Gulf Tank is the only 1 two divers can enter. The others are solo. All of them are about 9' deep. They use Hookah hoses there. Haul the tank up to the entry point and throw the hose over. It was a pretty fun experience. Nice to be able to get up close to the creatures in a controlled environment like that.
