context_section_description: The Awesome Ocean
  The Awesome Ocean exhibit is the main attraction in the aquarium. Visitors walk through a tunnel in a 350,000 litres (92,000 US gal) sea water tank and see the marine life from the vantage point of a diver. There are often divers in the exhibit that will showcase the marine life.
  Discover the Coastal Zone
  This sector showcases the world of Canada's marine invertebrates from both the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean. Visitors are also given the opportunity to interact and even touch the animals such as starfish, sea urchins, hermit crabs, sea cucumbers and more.
  Fresh & Salt Water
  Two levels of aquariums exhibit the estuarine life in the St. Lawrence basin where the fresh water from the river mixes with the salt water of the Atlantic Ocean.
  Scientific Crossroads
  Discover the research that makes the Aquarium du Québec an important place for marine biology in Canada and learn more about marine labs and marine research.
