I to am a Seattle Aquarium diver.
We are supplied with a regular hood cut back enough to clear the Aga seal and they work fine. The staff divers do have dry hoods on their drysuits, but that's also an environmental issue as they have to dive with the marine mammals.
I had problems with the Aga nose block, so our DSO gave me my own and suggested I glue some skin out neoprene to it to get it higher so I could more easily clear. It works fine now, still takes a bit to clear, but not a problem.
The requirements above are minimum, they are looking for experienced divers who have perfect buoyancy control and can deal with multiple tasks. That being said they will add divers to various tasks suited to their demonstrated experience level.
I really enjoy working with them!
