Tonight Anderson Cooper visited what was referenced as the most intact reef in the Caribbean. Due to its long standing status as a protected zone, I would certainly agree. They lie far off the Southern shore of Cuba.
Mr Cooper clonked one barrel sponge with his dangling SPG, stood for several scenes on/within the corals, held onto coral, thrust his hand out at a Shark and a bunch of other stuff that made us cringe.
Likely, the rest of the non-SCUBA public was impressed as well they should be- with the message delivered. This reef seems to recover from bleaching and other maladies with great speed... possibly due to the large number of natural critters.
As to AC's diving skills vs. the reef? Well, sometimes you gotta take a hit for the team.
