No air conditioning, tanks were dirty. A waste of money. Needs a big over haul!
What a wonderful resource. Be prepared to spend time to look and learn about our marine ecosystem, we'll be back.
I went there in October, please take note of the early closing times during wet season. The owner was extremely knowledgeable about marine life and made the hour-long tour very interesting to listen to. He also passed around some marine sponges and shells for us to see. However, I have to take away a star as the tanks are not clean making it difficult to see through. The area was also extremely hot and everyone was perspiring in the room.
We love this place. John and his wife created something amazing and unique. If you are interested in marine life or seawater tanks, this is the place to go. John is happy to share all his knowledge with you.Yes, other aquariums will show you more for the money you pay, but John and his wife build all of this alone, its private and their effort is worth supporting!
Where in the world you have come one with such a rare affinity with a marine environment? I can tell you that John is one such person. His intimate knowledge of the world beneath the sea and the interactive nature of the marine ecology is impressive. His simulated environment of the reef ecology is the closest thing I have seen to the real thing outside the real thing. His specimen collection gives you an insight and deep appreciation of the world that people just talk about. He is an authentic presenter. This museum is a must see for anyone interested in gaining knowledge of the complexity and interactions that exist in the aquatic environment. His knowledge could be the catalyst for helping people realise how important the SeaWorld really is to our survival. I was perplexed at hearing that this was not supported by our government. He was contemplating closing down this wonderful exhibition. I would challenge our political leaders to get an education by seeing first hand the great work John has spent building.
