Aquarena Center, pt 2 - glass-bottom boat tour

The main event, the boat tour! and best of all, Danny got us student discounts! :)




... hard to see in the photo, but these are some of the spots where the underground springs bubble up through the bottom of the ponds, churning the water and sand.  ... it kinda looked like bubbling cream of wheat.

some areas roped off for research

some of the researchers passing under us

... their bubbles left air pockets on the glass of the boat making it really hard to see... :\


... this turtle was hanging out behind us when the boat started backing up. he didn't jump into the water until we'd already hit the log he was on... guess he lived, lol.
