A day in the life of a Diver l or ll

Divers are an integral part of the Life Sciences team. Divers assist with daily husbandry needs of our aquatic life both in and out of water. Divers play a huge role in assisting with shark cage dives by providing a safe and guest-oriented experience. Divers are sometimes asked to participate in social media posts, commercials, proposals, prom-posals, and have even been known to dress up as Scuba Claus. Our divers provide routine cleaning, maintenance, and testing of all equipment and gear to ensure the safety of fellow divers and staff.
