Surface Supply Training

Recently, surface supply training classes were held for volunteers and staff, as surface supply is used in most of the tanks. The advantage to surface supply is the absence of a large tank which would hinder movement in exhibits and small areas where work may be necessary. Each class lasted two days, consisting of both classroom work along with actual surface supply diving to practice the skills taught.

Construction Clean-Up

After the construction was completed on our beluga exhibit, the removal of debris was our next task. All of the larger rocks from the reformation of the rock walls were gathered into a pile on one side of the exhibit. It was our job to remove them.

Scaffolding for Beluga Tank

While the belugas were on hiatus during our heavy construction months, we took the time to make some adjustments to their habitat. The goal was to lower sections of the rock walls on the sides of the exhibit so the beluga trainers can stand in the water and be closer to the animals.
