Becoming a volunteer at the Two Oceans Aquarium

Becoming a volunteer at the Two Oceans Aquarium By Bronwyn Cinnamon / 20 January 2012

I was so nervous on my first day at the Aquarium, but this work has become so important as we can have a positive and enriching effect on the world.

There’s such energy at the Aquarium, and the volunteers seemed so happy to work long hours with very little sleep – particularly on Friday nights when we had so much to cram in before our Saturday assessment.

Slippery as a honeycomb moray eel By Two Oceans Aquarium / 10 January 2012

The saying “slippery as an eel” is extremely apt and much patience is required when gathering these animals from the sea. Our divers collected these giant honeycomb moray eels using a large, transparent, heavy-duty plastic bag, a bottle of anaesthetic and some pilchards.

Back to school: Discounts for school groups in January

Back to school: Discounts for school groups in January By Ingrid Sinclair / 1 December 2011

The Two Oceans Aquarium’s Environmental Education Centre is offering a great back-to-school opportunity for teachers and educators. If you book a child group of 10 or more learners to the Aquarium for the month of January, you’ll pay just R20 per child. A wildly stimulating marine experience awaits all learners at the Aquarium – you might end up leaving with a budding marine biologist (or 10) on your hands, but at the very least, you’ll have oceans of new inspiration for any subject.
