Think you speak scuba? Divers have a whole underwater language of hand signals and some of them are way more obvious than others.

Head on over to our YouTube channel to see how many signs you can guess before Axl gives you the answer!

A tiny sea bunny thinks you’re doing great, actually.

Now, are you going to listen to Beans… or do they have to chirp twice? 👀

We’re pretty sure a study somewhere proved that sending your coworkers an emoji of Dave smashing a clam is the healthies...

We’re pretty sure a study somewhere proved that sending your coworkers an emoji of Dave smashing a clam is the healthiest way to celebrate absolutely crushing a spreadsheet.

Source: we just made that up.

Which emoji do we need immediately?

We invited some Aquarium of the Pacific staffer kiddos to sit down with the Pacific Pals and answer the really important questions. The results? Guaranteed to make your day.

Bring Your Kids to Work Day might just be our new favorite holiday

We laughed. We moshed. We screamed SHARKS! SHARKS! SHARKS! 🎤 🦈

Needless to say, the Pacific Pals had a splash at Van's Warped Tour 2026 and it’s all thanks to you, fishy friends!

If you picked up an Aquarium of the Pacific discount coupon at our booth, don’t forget to bring it with you when you visit us so you can save a few clams and go LOOKING AT THE FISH!!!

Until then, enjoy the memories, relive the madness, and tag your Warped Tour bestie if you spot them making an appearance! We love you!

Sea otters like Elsie, have a SERIOUS appetite, eating around 25% of their body weight every single day to keep their speedy metabolisms fueled. Luckily, they’ve got tools.

Otters use rocks to smash open clams, crabs, urchins, and other stubborn snacks because when you have that much eating to do, efficiency matters.

Most rocks perform this important duty with quiet professionalism.

And then there’s Dave. 🪨

Dave understands that being a rock is not a job. It’s a calling.

Wow, Dave. Just wow. 👀

Throwback time! Who remembers the first appearance of Dave? If have no idea who Dave is... well you're in for a treat.

Dinner time! Sea otters, like Elsie, are one of the few animals known to use tools. They often keep a favorite rock in a loose flap of skin under their forearm, that functions as a built-in pocket. This special rock helps them crack open hard-shelled prey like clams, urchins, and mussels. It works! But we never said it would be graceful...

It’s Friday! So why not share some unhinged inflatable shark tossin' chaos happening behind the scenes of our SHARKS! music video? 🦈🎉

Pretty sure we all got bopped on the head more than once… and everyone was thrilled about it.

Just another perfectly normal day with the Pacific Pals.
