One of the most amazing things about scuba diving is the ability to be surrounded by beautiful creatures and corals at every turn, while letting them stay putin their natural habitat.
While many marine aquarists are aquarium owners, there’s nothing like seeing visions ofbeautiful marine life, luscious corals, and beautiful blue-green bodies of water in its natural state.
Although marine tank owners often congregate to talk topics like aquarium maintenance and aquascaping, they also can’t resist boasting about the clownfish they saw while snorkeling on vacation or the corals they encountered while doing a scuba diving course.
That’s where The Reef Tank comes in.This marine world lovingcommunity of 25,000 members do post threads on their forums seeking aquarium advice for their new tank, but they also post photos of their sea adventures and query about crabs they saw while out by the water.
The Reef Tank’s community blog is also in on the trend.Not only do they offer advice for novice reefers, but they also share stories of diving escapades, local marine events, coral expeditions and marine geology treks.
And aside from aquariums and adventures, the blog is now focusing on pertinent marine issues like climate change, marine conservation, and ocean acidification.
Did you see that spread they just did on World Oceans Day on June 2nd? Sounds like something like something the typical scuba diver would totally be into.
