Exhibits

We are a 6,000 gallon marine facility with all of our animals collected by our team or our partners in regulation with our CDFW permits. Currently, we have over 40 species represented and over 70 teleosts total. Through diving and fishing primarily, we are able to curate our exhibits with Catalina flora and fauna. Our collection is constantly evolving as we go on collection dives or fishing trips. Here are our current exhibits on display.
