Voices from Another World

June 1986
A sophisticated diver communication system allows our Kelp Forest exhibit divers to talk to the crowd outside the windows. The new diving mask allow divers to tell visitors what they are feeding to the fishes as well as what fishes are being fed. Divers also answer questions and point out especially interesting aspects of the kelp forest and its creatures, allowing onlookers to take a step into that alien world without even getting wet!
