Psychedelic underwater playground for divers
Twenty million years ago, the construction of the Great Barrier Reef, the largest living organism in the world stretching off the northeast coast of Australia,took place. Limeexcretion of coral polyps grew into what is now called the Seventh Wonder of the World, a psychedelic underwater playground for divers where some 2,500 individual reefs are home to thousands of sponge and crustaceans, reef fish, sharks, mantas, sea turtles, humpback whales, fin whales, bottlenose dolphins and the endangered sea cow.
