Here's pictures and a small video clip of the Camden aquarium shark tank. I've been a volunteer diver there for almost a year, and dive with these beautiful creatures every other week. I finally got to set up my video camera and just let it roll for 10 mins so I can make the coolest screen saver ever. The movie is just a 20-30 second clip of it. Just thought I'd share.

lmao, I've got a tropical tank setup in my room and I have a craw fish who is now pretty big and he's insane. Right now he's just chilling on top of some plants that he climbed, I call him Mr. Crabs.

haha, well, thanks guys. But no, no balls here

I just like doing things that are different from what most people do I guess. The swimming with sharks thing, these are all wild caught sharks, but they have divers in the tank with them every day of the week, so they're used to us. Although, the first time being in a tank with over 10 sharks is a little intimidating, so is bumping your head on ones belly, but for they havent bothered anybody. The fun part is going to be transferring them to the new building (I dont know how many of you know this but the aquarium is under going a HUGE expansion, the current shark tank will no longer be the shark tank, and they're putting even more sharks in the new one. THAT will be interesting. New sharks + Old sharks + New tanks + divers = 1 diver that will probably sit out a week.)

Oh, and that 7 second 1/4 mile thing.. that only happened twice. Most of the time I run 8.0s

But sure, I'll take on some new friends

SWEET!

yep, thats it. i havent seen the new building yet, hopefully next time i'm down there i will. We were supposed to be the first team to dive the new tank, but it got canned for some reason. It's supposed to reopen to the public at the end of may.

It was good for saving me lots of money going to school for my last semester

I'm kinda surprised they aren't getting as much ridership as they predicted. It is quite useful. Between like Burlington and Camden it's packed, especiall during rush hour. Oh well.
