Dive Logs - The Sea Inside

Well, it's not the ocean but you see, it's the sea inside the Aquarium of the Bay! I am an aquarium diver, maintaining the two underwater tunnel tanks and caring for the animals. The two tanks are regulated to mimic the environment of the San Francisco Bay containing animals which inhabit the local waters- sometimes the aquarium receives animals from other aquariums as well! Daily underwater tasks include cleaning the acrylic tunnels (GL), fish feeds (FF), vacuuming (VAC), sanding ledges (SL), cleaning shells, (SH), and making sure injured/sick animals are safely moved to the holding tanks for care. Here's the run down:
