Why do we go to St. Martin's Island? Easy answer, to travel, to see the beauty of the island. But the funny thing is, the real beauty of St. Martin is underwater. We left without seeing the main element of the island, the underwater coral.

St. Martin is the only coral island in the country. Millions of tourists visit there every year. But what percentage of these people enjoy the real beauty of St. Martin? They see nothing but walking on the beach of the island and seeing some floating rocks on the torn island. But the thought of unraveling the mystery of the sea floor does not even occur to them. Most tourists are unaware of the hidden beauty of the coral reef.
