The vast majority of people that have been able to appreciate marine life have done so by watching from their armchairs in front of a TV, and maybe by assisting to a some gigantic aquarium facility somewhere. That's usual. After all, it's there where many of us began to become fascinated by the submarine environment, and started to develop our interest in SCUBA-diving in the first place! Many touristic attractions even have special submarines for touristic purposes to avoid becoming wet in the first place...
Anyway, the huge aquariums are an interesting alternative for people that happen to be in places such as Europe during a winter season for example, and they are a great choice for families too. You may observe marine species and their environments that otherwise can't be seen, even if you are an advanced SCUBA-diver. Although nothing compares to put on your mask and thins to watch the fish from their own natural environment, my visit to the Sea Life Center & AquaDom in Berlin (Germany) turned out to be a great experience. Even more when I had the chance to observe tropical marine life during the German winter in Berlin, exactly on december 25 of 2011. I hope you'll enjoy my only submarine adventure of 2011, a tough year for many of us. THL
