Coral Reefs are called underwater gardens for a reason, but the frenetically coloured plants and animals they support are so unlike any garden on land that a stroll (or float) though a coral garden is more like wandering another planet. This is true ‘before you die’ type stuff – yet really accessible.
The Chelsea Flower Show winning standard coral reef gardens are found in shallow tropical waters, but there are pockets thriving elsewhere and you only need a few pieces of plastic to take a walk amongst it all – a snorkel if you’re unsure. If you don’t like the water a glass bottom boat will do just as good a job at getting you immersed in the unexpectedly hyper-coloured world of coral – where you’ll be able to ponder the age old coral questions: ‘How does something come to be that brightly decorated?’ And ‘Is that glowing? Yes it is – wow – how does it do that?’
