T he Living Seas is the largest manmade ocean environment. The pavilion is dedicated to giving guests a better understanding of our relationship with and reliance on the seas as well as the role they will play in our future. The entrance to the pavilion features a rocky coastline with The Living Seas and United Technologies logos displayed.
Waves crash over the rocks every few seconds.
To the left and behind the sign is a large mural with the curving lines of ocean waves and the orange, yellow, and pink colors of the sun setting above it. There is also a small gift shop located in Sea Base Alpha and the Coral Reef restaurant which overlooks the main tank. DiveQuest allows certified divers to take a 30 minute adventure into the aquarium. Another program allows guests to learn about dolphin behavior and observe researchers working with them. United Technologies' initial contract ended around January 1998.
