I signed up to dive with the whale sharks at the Georgia Aquarium (Atlanta) and I was just wondering if anyone else has done it. Any reviews you would like to share? Any complaints?

would probably be too much of a liability to let you use your own gear.
even when I dive at the TN Aq as a volunteer we have to use their regs and BC's even though my personal gear is in better condition.
I doubt it much about liability, because there is liability in providing the gear also.
It's about health of their enclosed underwater ecosystem. they don't want to bring anything in that will add possible bacteria, polute, add other algae, or any other oganism to their water system.
You can bring in your mask, but they will make you disenfect it before you can dive with it in order to protect their water system.
makes sense if you think about it. A lot of the aquariums that allow diving have rules like this.
