Transparent Aluminum?

[Tom]

Sweet aquarium. [VIDEO]

Wait for it to load, then make sure you watch it fullscreen.

My chin is scarred from hitting the floor so hard.

Nice one Tom, that kept my 3 year old niece entertained for almost 20 minutes, which is almost a record.

But less of the Americanisms, it's aluminium.

Obviously not a Trek fan then

 

[Ono]

As soon as it started, I thought it was the one in Okinawa. I've never been - but saw a hi-def demo of it in Tokyo a couple of years ago.

whale sharks? in an aquarium?

 

[ramathorn]

I think I could look at that all day, absolute awesomeness.

whale sharks? in an aquarium?

that's what I was thinking, though it seems there are a few about.

47 seconds in you can see some crazy dude in a wetsuit on the bottom. Obviously trying to steal fish the cur.

Great vid - I wonder what the guys in scuba gear are doing - collecting up the fish crap mebbe? Must be a fair bit in a tank with that many fish

Great vid - I wonder what the guys in scuba gear are doing -

Isn't it obvious, they're clearly swaffling the fish, that's what all the people are there looking at, and the reason for the video.

I can't stop thinking about those whale sharks....I've seen the buggers, they are enormous.....which makes the size of the aqaurium a bit difficult to comprehend!

 

[Lethul]

Should drop in some Orca's or Great Whites

 

[Nate]

wow, thats a few more then what I saw when I went diving

Transparent Aluminum

What?! Are we fucking Yanks now Tom? Spell it right!








(I thought it was a Trek thread too, but nice find...)

Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium

Another place to add to the list of places I want to go to in the world.
Now to find a HD video loop of that for my desktop background.

 

[Munkey]

Just out of curiosity, where is this aquarium? It kind of looks like the one in Dubai, but theres no tunnel running along the back of it.

 

[Shagrat]

oh its in Japan...

It's not an aquarium then, its a worlds largest self service sushi buffet. THe people outside pick what to have, the scuba guy harpoons in and you collect it from the surface.

 

[TdC]

^^ what he said! the baby whale shark fins there are awesome! *rubs tummy*

Now to find a HD video loop of that for my desktop background.

My thoughts exactly, would be perfect for a dreamscene desktop. Let me know if you find it .
