As a matter of fact, an entire array of diverse corals and baffling marine life dwells in the emerald blue waters of the immense seas.
Corals are belong to the taxonomic group of Anthozoa
which produce ample qualities of calcium carbonate to assist in building reefs
frequently encountered in tropical oceans. They mostly acquire the shape of
sea-anemone resembling polyps. The corals are extremely fragile as they easily
succumb to even minute rises in the temperature of the water. They are also
susceptible to slight drop in the salinity level of the water.
Another variety of water sports is also practiced at Jolly Buoy of Andaman and Nicobar islands, known as snorkeling. At the amateur level, snorkeling can be described as the swimming on the surface of water while being fitted with a diving mask regarded as a snorkel. The individual performing this nerve-wrecking feat also wears swim fins for assistance. Sometimes, if the water is too chilled, it is advisable to put on a wet suit.
