DENVER (CBS4) -- Divers with West Metro Fire Rescue swam with the fishes on Monday... along with a shark, an eel, a sea turtle and more.

Dive team at Denver Aquarium

Our dive team today, practicing their skills at the Downtown Aquarium - Denver. Team members have to recertify every year and the Aquarium offers a great opportunity to do that (especially during the cold winter months). While training this morning, the team also cleaned up the exhibit, removing algae off rock formations, and debris from the bottom- all under the watchful eyes of the inhabitants- including sharks, and some very friendly turtles.
