Coral reefs are one of the most stunning beauties in this world. The largest of them all is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, which stretches for 92,000 square miles. This coral reef is being constantly created by small underwater limestone secreting animals oblivious to the civilization above the water. But over the years, due to wastewater discharge, chemical contaminants, use of pesticides, water and air pollution have started to damage the coral reefs across the world. If the pollution is not stopped and if serious measures are not taken to protect these reefs then 70% of the shallow reefs will cease to exist in the next few decades. The one person who can save these reefs is you! There is a specialty scuba course called coral reef conservation diver and this will not only teach you the basics of scuba diving but also help you to protect the coral reefs.
