Last time there was a LOOOOONG impossible ticket queue so this time we reserved tickets. My main purpose is to see their Jelly Fish collection!!!
Jellies are amazing and beautiful~~ Some of the pictures are from a special show called “Jellies: Living Art” where they have special lighting and installation complimenting the design of the Jellies. Love the polka dot Spotted Jellies.
These are Moon Jellies, the same ones I used in my Tynant commercial (school project) ^^;; There must be thousands of them in the wall-size glass tanks that form a long hall way. The hall way is very dark so the jellies were illuminated…very spectacular.
There are some Jellies-theme artworks displayed in the ‘Jellies: Living Art’ show. I saw these works at Carmel’s galleries too.
The Shark show was alight. The polka dot ray is quite cool~ The Hammerhead Shark is awesome! 😀
Left: these snobbish Otters totally ignore us after they were fed…
Right: at first I thought these penguins were fake as they stood so still like puppet models. But occasionally some let slip and wiggled a bit… (btw the San Diago Sea World’s Penguin show is way bigger and better).
Left: Monkeyface Eel
Middle: a coral (?) that looks like a Quill pen
Now here comes the tank of horror….
Left: Sea Cucumber…gosh to think that we always eat it….
Mid: what the hell is THAT!!??
Right: that furry spikey thing is an Octopus…gosh…
I never realize how gross underwater creatures could be (rival catepillar and insects of the land).
Didn’t know that eel is this gross…so unnatural with Yayoi Kusama-ish patterns, and some look so phallic…
Lots of cool stuffs on their website http://www.mbayaq.org/

Hey I didn’t know you like nature stuff!! When I was raving about my first diving experience you sounded all “cool”!! ^^;;;;;
The jelly fish are sooooooooooo beautiful!! My god!! The colour was not just the lighting, right?? They are real colour??? I am totally ignorant!!
And that Quill-looking thing!!! So cute!!!
The eel are also kinda cute in a revolting sorta way(contradicting…^^;;). The second from the right is kind of creepy…
You did see a lot of stuff in just a weekend trip!!
Nah I’m so-so with nature stuffs, I only like Jelly fish! They are beautiful~ (to me diving is something seems dangerous and scary, really amazed you have the courage to try it ^^;;;).
It’s sad that what I remember most from your first diving experience was that the diving instructor was very cute and was flirting with you? 😛
oh no…yayoi kusama patterns?
aaaaaargh freaky!!
When I went, I thought the otter show was pretty boring too!
Lyla was saying they should make clam chowder out of the clams that the otters crack open and sell it! I think that would definitely add more pizzaz to the otter exhibit.
Gaaa!!!! Get lost!!! I didn’t say he was flirting with me!!! ^^;;;; And he wasn’t cute, he was only cool….gagagaga…..I am sure he was only a small part of what I told you about the dive!!(
hahaha ok ok…
I also remember you saying that your ears hurt at first when you dive, then you feel a “pop” and it’ not hurting anymore. Also the undersea scenery is beautiful…there…see I do remember other things.
