Expeditions
On our latest expedition to the Northern Caribbean we had the opportunity to document the health of coral all over the U.S. Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands. Some of the reefs were healthy and alive, some were completely dead, and some of the reefs were showing signs of a healthy regeneration. Below are photos of both our expedition vessel, a Balance 526, and some documentation of our dive sights.
