Amazing dive with the sharks at the Denver Aquarium! Very memorable experience.

I contacted A1Scuba to arrange the dive. The $185 fee covered everything, including all gear (wetsuit, mask, fins, bc, regs, tank...everything!). An aquarium employee gave us a guide tour of the filter/pump rooms and the main control area for all the tanks. The dive guide gave us a great pre-dive briefing, we tested our weight, and basic dive skills (mask clearing, reg recovery). There were Tiger Sharks, Sandbar Sharks, Sawfish, Green Sea Turtles, Giant Barracuda, and a massive puffer fish (must have been around 2 feet long!). The Tiger sharks were constantly circling overhead. The Sawfish were pretty intimidating with their massive saw on the front of their face. I also found a few shark teeth that I was able to keep!

One of my favorite moments was waving to the little kids on the other side of the glass. You can tell they were excited to see a scuba diver wave back at them.
