CREATURES, YOURSELF.
>> MERMAIDS AND THEY WERE REAL AND THEY INVITED ME INTO THEIR HABITAT SO THAT I COULD SEE
WHAT THEY SEE WHEN THEY’RE OUT
CREASING
OUR BEACHES AND I THINK THE
REASON THAT THEY INVITED US AND
IT IS BECAUSE I I SPEAK I DON’T
SPEAK
FOR ME. BUT I DO SPEAK A
DIALECT OF THEIR LANGUAGE WHICH
IS MORE OF THAT OF THE BOTTLE
NOSE PORPOISE
OR DOLPHIN.
>>RICHARD NUNN: AND SO WHEN I
WALK BY A NOSE LIKE TO EAT IT
LIKE THAT THEY’RE OKAY AND EVEN
THOUGH THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT
OF A LANGUAGE GAP THEY SAID

THE VALUES. >> WHAT HAPPENED TO BE OVER WANTED THIS WOMAN, A FISH TANK

CORAL AN ENEMY AND LIVES
IT COMES TO LIFE AT THE SAINT
AUGUSTINE AQUARIUM TO ATTRACT
THE FISH. WE WERE GIVEN FEEDING
BOTTLES FILLED WITH SEA MONKEYS
OR IN THIS CASE KRILL THE
BOTTLES WORKED AS WE WERE
SWARMED BY A VARIETY OF HUNGRY,
SALT WATER FISH, THIS REALLY
WAS AN UNEXPECTED TREAT
SWIMMING IN A LIFE-SIZE
AQUARIUM WAS AWESOME AND
BEATING THE DOZENS OF FISH SO
PEACEFUL.

THE COOLEST
THING EVER IF YOU JUST DID THE
SAME THING IF YOU’RE LOOKING AT

BOARD SHORTS BRING YOUR BATHING

THEIR HABITAT BUT IT IS SO COOL
JANE AND
LAUREN YOU’RE A SNORKEL AND
MASK YOU GOT YOUR LITTLE IN A
FLIRTATION AND YOU’RE JUST
CRUISING ACROSS THE SURFACE OF
THE WATER AND YOU’RE LOOKING

CONDOS FOR ENOUGH OR FISH
EVERYTHING FROM. THE REEF TYPE
OF FISH. HE SAW SOME OF THE
STRIPERS IN THERE THE GRUNTS
BUT YOU TAKE THAT LITTLE BOTTLE

MEAN THEY KNOW WHAT THAT IS NOW
SAY GIVE IT JUST A
LITTLE PUFFS AND LITTLE BITS OF
THE CRUEL SEA MONKEYS COME OUT
AND THEY COME RIGHT UP TO YOU
AND YOU ARE IMMERSED, I MEAN
YOU KNOW EVERY FISH TANK I EVER
HAD AS A KID I WAS TRYING TO
IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE
TO BE

LITTLE DOOR THAT WOULD OPEN THE
TREASURE CHEST AND I GOT TO DO IT AND YOU CAN TOO AT THE SAINT AUGUSTINE AQUARIUM STATE ROAD

TOWER, YOUR BOARD SHORTS
FACTORY OUTLETS THEN THE SAINT
AUGUSTINE MALL. THEN YOU SWIM
WITH MERMAIDS. >>JENNIFER WAUGH: AND IT’S ALSO BECAUSE IT’S ALSO IN A
CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT TO RICH
WHERE YOU KNOW IF YOU MIGHT NOT
BE A REALLY STRONG SWIMMER AND
YOU’RE NERVOUS ABOUT JUST
KIND OF GOING IN THE OCEAN IT’S
ALL RIGHT THERE IN A CONTAINED
AREA.
>> YOU’RE BASICALLY IN
AN ABOVE GROUND SWIMMING POOL
AND I HATE TO SAY LIKE THAT,
BUT I MEAN YOU KNOW IT’S ABOVE
GROUND AND IT’S HOLDING WATER
THAT’S WHAT IT IS. AND BUT IT’S
A
HUGE TANK. IT IS COMPLETELY
CONTROLLED AND THERE’S SO MUCH
ELSE THAT’S THEIR YOU KNOW WE
TAKE YOU TO SOME OF THE
HIGHLIGHTS. THERE’S A ANOTHER
LITTLE AREA THAT’S MORE LIKE A
CLASSROOM THAT HAS EVERYTHING
FROM SEA HORSES TOO, SOME
OF THE OTHER TYPES OF FISH
UNSEEN ENEMY AND STUFF LIKE
THAT THAT WE’D SEE WHILE WE’RE
IN THE WATER BUT IT GIVES YOU A
WAY TO
SEE IT WITHOUT THE NERVOUSNESS
OF THINKING WHAT MAY BE AROUND
YOU, BUT AS FAR AS THE SWIM
EXPERIENCE IN THAT.
WITH THE LITTLE FISH THERE IN
THE MERMAIDS THAT IT REALLY WAS
THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY.
