coral condition

[dicgo]

Anyone knows where to find update coral condition report or have any suggestion on where to dive. I was planning my next diving trip and want to avoid place like maldives which was suffered badly by the coral bleaching.

Thanks

Try this link from the Australian Institute of Marine Science:

http://www.aims.gov.au/pages/research/coral-bleaching/scr2002/scr-00.html

It has the status of coral reefs around the world for 2002.

Thanks. That report is very useful.

The Reef Check website - they do worldwide volunteer surveys of reefs to monitor the conditions and any changes.

Also, as a suggestion for your holiday planning - you can't go wrong with the Great Barrier Reef!

No surprise its one of the 7 wonders of the world!:halo:

For specific sites the "Travellin' Diver's Chapbook" from Undercurrent is excellent.

I have finally made up my mind - a 5 days liveaboard to similan. Wish me luck on seeing the whale shark.
