Before National Aquarium closes their famed "Wings in the Water" exhibit, they invited a few members of the local media down to snorkel & swim with the animals.

I consider myself extremely lucky to have been selected as one of them!

No matter how many times you've seen the array of sea life from just above, there is nothing quite like plunging in and seeing them just a few inches away (and sometimes, not even that far)!

I was fortunate to be able to take my new "GoPro2" camera down in the water with me, providing a rare look at these magnificent creatures up close.  *SEE THE VIDEO / CLICK THIS LINK

Both the video and several great photos are attached to this blog. Enjoy!  (and let me know what you think or if you have any questions at weverhart@wmar.com )
