Diving the Living Seas @ Epcot

Just got back from a vacation in Orlando and while visiting the Living Seas Pavillion at Epcot I learned that you can dive in their main tank there. Was wondering if anyone has done this and how it was.

My buddy's done it twice, the water is crystal clear. The best thing is your family can see you diving while they're eating? - I guess there's some sort of restaurant there. I think he said it was about $200 though.

Here's the thread that discusses this in more detail

My wife and I dove the living seas and it was great! It's a 45 minute dive they provide all the equipment for you (the only personal equipment they allow in the tank is masks) They size you up while they are taking your cert cards and when you get to the tank your equipment is all there perfectly weighted and sized. By the way it's all top of the line stuff can't remeber exactly what brands. There are rays, sharks, turtles and tons of fish. The cool part is that everyone is looking at you dive through the windows of the tank and the window in the restaurant.
All in all a very fun time, we highly recommend it...

Thanks everyone for the feedback...today was my first OW class and I am looking forward to doing this dive on our next trip to WDW!
