Saw this on 60 minutes on Sunday; really beautiful underwater shots. Talk about a lot of sharks! Too bad there were several lion fish present, but at least they addressed it to a certain extent.

35 years ago my best friends Dad raved about diving Cuba 20 yrs prior as the experience of a lifetime (this from a man who didnt rave about ANYTHING) so one can only imagine what it must have been like 50+ yrs ago.

I do find the increasing levels of coral bleaching in the USVI and BVI I've seen over the past 5 - 10 yrs upsetting but I suppose inevitable given the local and global environmental stressors.
