A Tennessee Aquarium Experience

The OCEAN JOURNEY / SECRET REEF

I recorded this video at the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, TN on Friday, October 14th, 2022. This video is of the Ocean Journey / Secret Reef area. The experience was amazing and unforgettable.

Below is a great description of the area I recorded as per the Tennessee Aquarium’s website. Here is a link to their website for more information:

In the blue depths of the Gulf of Mexico,
about 115 miles southeast of Galveston,
Texas, an exotic, multi-colored coral
environment exists in harmony. This reef
system, the Flower Garden Banks National
Marine Sanctuary, is the northernmost reef
in North America and is inspiration for the
Secret Reef exhibit.
 
Perfectly depicted in a dimly-lit gallery with
mystical, underwater music, this exhibit
features the Aquarium's most jaw-dropping
animals: toothy, 10-foot, sand tiger sharks
and sleek, sandbar sharks. In addition,
guests can watch in amazement as
thousands of colorful reef fish swim about
while the larger Crevalle Jacks swim above.
Two impressive Green Sea Turtles can also
be seen gliding through the crystal clear
waters
 
The adventure continues as visitors make
their way further into the depths of the
Secret Reef as they tour the Ocean Journey
building. A wonder in itself, the Undersea
Cavern provides breathtaking, panoramic
views.
 
Visitors feel as if they are floating in a
bubble deep in the ocean while surrounded
by thousands of curious saltwater creatures,
like colorful fish and enormous sharks, in a
fantastic, brightly-colored coral setting. As
they make their way though the cavern,
they can view bottom feeders and observe
the behaviors of mysterious saltwater life as
if they were actually deep-sea divers.
Visitors are amazed when 10-foot sharks
swim slowly above their heads and schools
of darting fish move to and fro in every
direction around them.
