Today Joe was able to go scuba diving at Epcot Seas Adventures’ DiveQuest.
It takes place in their 5.7-million-gallon saltwater aquarium. During the walking parts of our tour they were also able to see manatees and dolphins in their tanks (from outside their backstage tanks).
Total time for the actual dive was 40 minutes with the temperature of the water at 78 F and visibility of 203 ft – a lot better than it was like while learning to dive at Lake Mead.
The animal species that were in the aquarium were: sand tiger shark, brown/sandbar shark, black-nose shark, southern stingray, cow-nose stingray, bow-mouth guitarfish, guitarfish, loggerhead sea turtle, black-blotch ray, honeycomb Ray, porcupine Ray, leopard ray, cow-tail ray, bonnet head shark, zebra shark, and spotted eagle ray.
One of my favorite to swim with was Kat, a bow-mouth guitarfish – looks like a mix of a shark and a ray.
