Does anyone know if there is underwater viewing of Asiatic Black Bears other than Roger Williams Park Zoo in Rhode Island?
Seals and Sea Lions are common animals to have underwater viewing for, but Sea Lion Sound, a new exhibit at Saint Louis, is the only zoo in North America with an underwater tunnel to see sea lions swimming all around you.

I am trying to remember my visit to Aquarium of the Pacific (Long Beach) - haven't they had it for a long time?

It's a curved "half-tunnel" (one side only). Very nice, but not really a tunnel. Bristol, Gelsenkirchen and Colchester all have full tunnels in their sea lion exhibits, but St. Louis' is the first in the US.
 
Temaiken has underwater viewing for capybaras, South American tapir and swans. The swans live in the former penguin exhibit, after a disease that killed most of the zoo's penguins the park decided to replace them with swans.
 
Brookfield Zoo has underwater viewing for grizzly bears and Columbus has underwater viewing for grizzly bears plus the pool is filled with fish. Denver has underwater viewing for fishing cats.
 
One underwater viewing of mammals that can been seen, if you are very lucky (or even ridiculously lucky!) is the Sloths swimming at Chester Zoo. I have never seen it, but it has happened.
For those not familiar with the exhibit, there are a couple of trees on land and some space around the trees. The land then slopes down towards some water, encapsulating the water is a large arched piece of acrylic or poly carbonate which is about 8 feet (2.5 metres) high. Water is filled to about 3 to 4 feet depth and the water is filled with rocks, plants various tropical fish and some terrapins. If you click on Help Re-name Spirit of the Jaguar | Chester Zoo you can see what I am trying to explain!
So there is another, maybe not intentional but I would like to think it was partly, example of being able to view mammals underwater. However like I said you would need to be blessed to see it.
