The Aquarium's renovated space on Pier 59 features a 120,000 gallon exhibit with a 19'x39' window that dramatically showcases hundreds of local fish and invertebrates in a scene replicated from the rocky underwater cliffs of Neah Bay. Twice a day, divers enter the waters and, through the use of specialized masks, talk to visitors about the environment and the creatures who live in the depths.
