Beat the Heat with THE ULTIMATE WAVE TAHITI
| 
THE ULTIMATE WAVE TAHITI is getting rave reviews, but you don't have to take our word for it! "Short of spending $1,660 on a plane ticket, the Fleet's giant IMAX screen will give the closest paradise encounter (and Slater encounter, sigh) many of us will ever get," says Keli Dailey at the San Diego U-T. "The surfing sequences are so exciting that at the screening I attended, audience members cheered when Kelly rode unbelievably dangerous waves," shares film critic, David Dixon. Looking for something else? We're also showing HUBBLE and THE LIVING SEA daily - two more reasons to visit the Fleet to see a great IMAX film!
