The Ocean Voyager exhibit at the Georgia Aquarium is home to thousands of fish including 2 whale sharks, the largest fish species in the world. This 6 million gallon aquarium has a viewing window that is 23 feet high and 61 feet wide.
In this video you can watch rays glide through space, sharks on the prowl, giant groupers float slowly by, and a myriad of other beautiful fish swim freely about. One of my favorite parts of the video is the schools of tangs that swim by. Their dark colors are a nice contrast to the blue background.
I shot the Sea Voyager footage as an ocean meditation, to display the beauty of a sea full of fish. This video also exemplifies the impressive size of whale sharks in relation to schools of fish and other sharks. These immense fish are actually harmless to humans as they are filter feeders, sucking krill and other small crustaceans from the water.
Keep an eye out for more videos of the Georgia Aquarium including an in depth interview with Kim Hall of the Tropical Diver exhibit, where she walks us through the one of the largest reef tanks in the world.
