Nice photo! Underwater tunnels in aquariums are becoming the norm all across the world, but the feeling of being immersed inside a vast ocean is aided by the terrifically clear acrylic windows. I also like the rocky edges along the bottom of the windows, as sometimes these tunnels have generic benches that can possibly taint the immersive environment.

Acrylic glass tunnels are becoming much more common in zoos and aquariums all over the world, and to be honest I love them and think that they are brilliant additions to any exhibit. It is almost as if a visitor is inside the actual habitat, and seeing the creatures from a different perspective is spectacular!
