The "Under the Sea" exhibit at the Denver Aquarium is available for ’public’ diving thru special arrangement with A1 Scuba, a local dive shop (http://www.a1scuba.com/). Sign up with them for a snorkeling or scuba adventure, and they’ll provide all of the gear. In fact, for the health and safety of the animals, they’ll insist you use their equipment. The only exception is if you wear prescription lenses in your mask; you can contact them about using your own u/w camera, but usually they want you to buy a disposable.

It’s a shallow dive, but there’s a wide variety of marine life: turtles, nurse sharks, eels, rays, huge groupers and cods, Napolean Wrasse, and so on. Because there are divers in there almost every day, they’re all used to humans and many will investigate to see if you’ve got any food, especially the turtles.
