Yes, you're right! Very sad.
For the WatchProSite members who aren't familiar with what Mary Anny is referencing to, please google Coral Bleaching. The Earth has increased in temperature rather dramatically the past few years and this temperature shock has hurt the health of coral reefs and their associated fish populations.
Diving with the discontinued Hulk
No safe Queens for me Natural habitat With the endangered sea turtle ...
Very beautiful photos of the turtle....
particularly nice to see the watch in it's natural habitat as well
Yes! How many Rolex watches actually go swimming? How many actually go in a submarine?
I spent a night in a submarine a long time ago back in my teenager days. It was quite an experience!
Beautiful turtle! Thank you for the shots!
Too bad the turtle doesn't appreciate watches nor the time, or else it'd come up to you and ask what the time is on your nice watch!
Great pics!
Brings back great memories, diving boats and tanks can be rough on watches but you will have stories to tell (my son almost knocked off the sapphire of my first panerai)
Awesome pics!
I dove Bali + Komodo with LVc on wrist without any problems but managed to ding it when chilling in hotel pool in Ubud
Ouch!
Yes, the watch suffers more in inland Ubud than it does on the coast! It's okay! It's a souvenir from Ubud! I heard of someone in Ubud who had a monkey play with their watch, it was in the hotel and somehow the monkey got into the room. But he said the mo...
Great pictures, thanks for sharing!
I am glad to sea a modern Submariner "really" diving! It's only sad to see how the reef is in such poor conditions! 😭

Yes Patrick,
Coral bleaching is one among the causes of coral dying globally! We should never forget the many direct impacts of humans on coral reef ecosystems. It's funny how, however, many fish and reptiles, like the sea turtles, still use those impacted reefs where...
I hope the coral can recover...
But in order for the coral to recover, the water temperature needs to drop by a significant amount. Hopefully, some day. Coral also grows very slowly, so that would potentially mean it recovers very slowly.
Absolutely,
Most coral species recover slowly, other never do it in the short term, a few species do it quite fast! A picture of mine from the very impacted Carribean... ...
I'm crossing my fingers too!
Hoping that there's beautiful coral reefs for future generations to see!
“Don’t make me angry”, the turtle said. 😀
Or I’ll turn into a hulk turtle! 😑Nice watch! Goes well with the blue diving suit.
Great to your Sub in action. Have fun. 😉👍
Many thanks for the pictures. Cheers. 🍻, after the dive. Geross.
