Spring Break Day 5

Today we were awaken fairly early around 9:00am. Half awake we put on our suits. When everyone was ready we headed out the door. When we arrived at the lobby we bought a bagel and waited for our tour guides. About 15 minutes later we met our guides. Our guides were tall and loved to crack jokes. after telling us what to expect once we were in the tank we received our wet suits. After another 15 minutes struggling to put the suit on we headed down the steps and into the large tank. The water was very cold even when wearing wet suits.

I dipped my head under the water to see a huge city of fish. I saw Huge sharks and small schools of fish. I touched the skin of the Huge manta rays skin. Our guides dove to the bottom of the tank and picked up some of the sharks non fertilized eggs. After he grabbed the eggs he woke the shark that began to circle us. After about 3 minutes the shark lost interest and left but I still kept an eye on it.  I dove down and tapped on the glass of the walk through tunnel that look into the tank. Most people waved, some even took pictures. After an hour we headed back up the ladder and out of the tank. We turned in our wet suits and headed to the water park.
