There are too many perks associated with being an AAUS facility to
give that up. It affects the accreditation of the whole zoo, with the
AZA. Additionally, I learned that the insurance money saved because
we follow AAUS protocol is what actually finds our volunteer program.
I doubt that we'll be giving that up. Plus, it gives me reciprocity
with other AAUS dive facilities, and also NOAA research.
