SeaWorld also provides facilities for diving. I think it is the simple one to study and understand about ocean biota. We don’t need to go to sea or go diving under the sea just visit this polace we can know everything. This place is so comfortable recreation but also study. Maybe they have to add more facilities to support visitors to know more about ocean biota easily.
