A DIFFERENT WORLD The underwater explorer, Jean-Michel Cousteau, son of Jacque Cousteau, says, "It's a whole different world down there — filled with beauty, mystery, excitement, and adventure." WHAT'S DOWN THERE, ANYWAY?

CORAL, CAVES AND WALLS Just as on land, sanctuary and shelter is provided in naturally formed caves, caverns and grottos. Vertical walls rise from the depths and form undersea cliffs that would challenge the best of climbers; but you will soar around these ramparts like a seabird on the wing. Caves are a haven 
for small fish hiding from predators, each formation providing a new and mysterious labrynth for exploration.
Magnificent corals surprise and amaze in their infinite variety and delicacy. Staghorn and brain corals grow large, while others are so tiny they seem lost in the crevices.
