[Cruella]

find the fish clubs down there. Tampa has a group I am certain, orlando probably does as well. Start here on RC, then try google. Also there is the fishstore locator thing on the internet.

Have fun.

there is this one called THE OCEAN...... they let you swim around in the reef "tank" and you can see stuff with a snorkel mask and stuff. It is so big, you have to take a boat out from this dock that floats ontop of the water next to the concrete wall of the sides of it. In some sections of the "tank", you can simply walk right out in this huge section of sand that they graded up to the top of the "tank" and the wavemaker pumps create a tidal surge that breaks under your feet... it's the coolest thing !

I've been to that one before, Dave. Quite magnificent! But unfortunately, they don't let you buy anything there.

yeah I don't like swimming in the ocean. I like to walk in some store where I can pull out the visa and have a pretty little ocean in my living room,with out messing up my hair. thanks dave

the best part about shopping in the ocean store is youre money is no good there and being in the u.s. you can overnite it home with no customs ruining youre lil shopping spree. just remember a chipping hammer,some of those critters dont wanna let go

 

[Dave ESPI]

what is in the ocean, and is FREE to be caught, and is yours. You can ship it any way you want, and the Customs dept have no say aslong as it is caught inside the boundries of the USA and is legal to be taken as such ( not endangered or protected Sp.).
