The inside of the reef.

The diving group members had the opportunity to look at the inside of a reef (Dolphin House).

The divers were able to reach the inside through a cleft in this massive, free-standing reef column and explore between the coral rocks. Hardly any life was to be found in the interior. Only in very few places where the sun´s rays shone through the lacework reef flat was there evidence of life settling on the dead reef rocks once again.

There were hardly any fish to be found. It is possible that so much sand or ground up reef material falls through the intact reef surface that any new life is simply covered over. The layer of sand in the interior was clearly visible. It would be interesting to have a sample from the interior tested to find its age in order to establish the rate of growth of the reef column.
