Thanks everyone! If you want to do something similiar, many zoos/aquariums let kids ages 14-17 volunteer, usually as a docent (dude who holds an animal and lets people touch it/tell facts about it) Just check out your local zoos website 
Like ceeej said, you can also volunteer to dive in the tanks, but you need to be 18 or older.
