“Swimming with the fishes”, take on a whole new meaning, deviating away from shady Mafia characters by the dock and cement block, visitors to the Miami Seaquarium may enjoy the same submerged experience in cutting edge diving suits as the tropical fishes of such prismatic beauty, cut through the water effortlessly, in the timeless dance of fish. Then danger comes close up to a safe distance at the sharks and crocodiles attractions- unfortunately, amongst the fangs of the waters, diving and observing them at their most natural is currently not available. Away from the fishes and towards the dolphins and orcas, where there is less passive, orchestrated with precision and a product tremendous amount of training, audiences sitting from the bleachers can just observe with hanging jowls at the taming of these beasts incapable of speech and so wholly divorced from the human form, as their bestial quality softens from the performing the successive instructions from trainers to leap out of the waters and jump through hoops.

Yet, for a place of fishes and swimming mammals, the sheer number of people and children seem to outnumber them. It’s no wonder being that the Miami Seaquarium is a thoroughly family friendly venue where the little seen marine life can be experienced at the very tip of the nose of the children who press themselves against the viewing glass of the dolphins and killer whales viewing tanks, including 50 year-old orca, Lolita.
