  • 10 years ago
Documentary 53 minutes ~ Color

In the Coral Sea, east of Queensland and south of the Solomons lie many plateaus of coral that rise to the surface and are capped with coral islands. They are so remote and rarely visited, and yet they are beautiful islands abundant with nesting birds and turtles.

Ben Cropp and his team scuba dive these crystal waters with wonderful coral gardens, big fish, and many sharks, that go into a feeding frenzy when food is available.

It has always been a harsh world for the island wildlife in this beautiful tropical setting. The Coral Sea spawns cyclones that devastate nesting birds. Early sailing ships struck the jagged rampart and left their bones on the coral reef.

Ben Cropp and his family explore this wonderful area in his vessel Freedom. Its a voyage of discovery and adventure to these emerald isles in a rainbow sea.
