Divin' for Treasure

There's been another addition to fishcam #2 in the form of a diver with a treasure chest. By clicking the links under the video stream, you'll be able to open and close the treasure chest. Since robo-gator turned out to be a big hit, I thought it was time to add another device. I'm about out of room in that tank for animatronics. I might be able to squeeze one more thing in there, but it'll have to be small. Let me know if you have any ideas.

The gator has been operational for over a month now and I'm happy to report that no fish have died because of it. Although it wasn't my intent, controlling the gator became a "fishing game" of sorts with people trying to catch my fish by closing the chompers on unsuspecting swimmers-by. It is possible to catch them as I've seen it happen a few times now.

As a side note, fishtank #1 will be down for a while. I'm trying to think of something creative to do with it. In the meantime, have fun with the new diver!
