coral reef diving

Subaquatic colony tourism

Coral reef diving is scuba diving or snorkeling around coral reef ecosystems to observe marine life and underwater formations.

The activity combines recreation with natural spectacle—divers encounter tropical fish, sea turtles, and intricate coral structures.

Popular destinations include Australia's Great Barrier Reef and reefs throughout the Caribbean: We went coral reef diving in Cozumel.
