Ocean Brain - Corals of the Great Blue Hole

While freediving in the Great Blue Hole in Belize I saw this unusual coral formation made of tube coral and brain coral, home of a little trunk fish and his friends. Brain corals are living creatures that grow up to 6 foot high and live as long as 900 years, but unfortunately they are now dying off at an increasing rate: in the Caribbean ocean, over 75% of the corals already disappeared, 10% of them listed as critically endangered.

is very popular in freediving competitions as it produces much greater thrust than bi-fins
. He also uses a purpose-made neck-weight to compensate for the buoyancy of his lungs packed with oxygen.
