Moody Gardens® dives into adventure during the IMAX® AquaFest

GALVESTON, Texas … The Houston area’s number one tourist attraction and family destination gets ready to dive into excitement at Moody Gardens® fintastic IMAX® Aquafest. From February 4th-20th, enjoy a world of underwater adventure featuring seven ocean films with unlimited admission to Moody Gardens® state-of-the-art, six story IMAX® 3D theatre, Ridefilm and Aquarium Pyramid®.
Explore the fascinating sport of free diving in Ocean Men as you see just how long world class divers can hold their breath. Be amazed at the diversity of marine life near ocean vents in Volcanoes of the Deep Sea, and take time to play around with everybody’s favorite underwater friends in Dolphins. From a herd of Whales to exotic see creatures and ocean reefs, explore the world’s oceans like never before with these IMAX® favorites and much, much more. For those who are fishing for more than just a virtual adventure, experience the wonders of the Aquarium Pyramid® and enjoy 1.5 million gallons worth of ocean fun. From the Sharks that grace the underwater tunnels to the laughable waddle of the Aquarium’s four different species of Penguins, there is truly something for everyone.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to expose IMAX® goers to the beauty and majesty of the ocean depths. Since most of us aren’t oceanographers we don’t get the chance to see how vast and diverse our oceans really are.” said Phil Jaeger, Moody Gardens® IMAX® Manager.
Every Saturday throughout the Filmfest Moody Gardens® will also feature booths from local Marine Biology experts, who will be giving talks and educating the general public on topics covered in the various AquaFest IMAX® features. Moody Gardens® will also reel in an appearance by special guest Gavin McKinney, Director of Photography for Sharks 3D, on February 20th which will kick off the Texas premier of the film.
Take the plunge and enjoy seven fintastic films and unlimited admission to: All IMAX® films, the Aquarium Pyramid®, and the Ridefilm Theatre for only $29.00! In addition, this exclusive package will feature free admission to the Texas Premier of Sharks 3D on February 20th. Or, for the movie buffs, immerse yourself into all of the filmfest movies for only $18.00.

Here's a thread from the Texas Swamp Divers, you might have missed which they are planning a get together:

Saturday, Feb. 5, 5pm at Joe's Crab Shack in Arlington. It's at the corner of Copeland Road and Nolan Ryan Expressway, just off I-30 in Arlington, practically in front of Ameriquest Field (formerly The Ballpark In Arlington).
