Well, I finally made it to my scheduled first dive in Ocean Voyager. Pretty cool dive when the first thing you have to remember is not to hit the whale shark on the way in....Unbelievable.

What is like being next to such a massive organism? I can't imagine what it's like the first time you get in the tank next to one of them.

Imagine a swimming bus....

It really is pretty incredible. The hammerhead and groupers were nice too. Overall, not a bad dive.

Contact volunteer services. It is NOT like you just walk up and dive. You have to put in hours in non-dive related activities, go through training and a physical ($370), commit to a certain number of dives per month, etc. If you are serious, weekday diving is easier to find on the schedule than weekend diving, and plan on at least a year before you hit the water.

yeah--that is great; I wish I had the time to devote to helping out the GA Aquarium-that would be awesome.
