Wending their way through a dank cavern, they are suddenly plunged into an aquatic research center lined with industrial-steel walls and exposed pipes. There they can park themselves in a yellow submarine once used for deep-sea exploration or watch wet-suited guides equipped with scuba gear investigate a simulated shipwreck in an 85,000-gal. tank...
