Two Oceans I & J Ocean Exhibit is an indoor aquarium dive in a fully controlled artificial environment. It suits training, refreshers, and first-time underwater experiences because the water is calm, the route is predictable, and the setting is close-up and sheltered. The main appeal is meeting resident turtles, rays, and other captive marine life at very short range.
