Yeah Bubblehead whatever ya say. We know, those of us who are dedicated to the sea, how long it takes for coral to grow back but it is damaged in other ways like warmer water temperatures, hurricanes, bleaching, agricultural effluents.
1984 was 23 years ago. You have alot of catching up to do. Stuff happens. If ye be so dedicated then see if one of the Cousteaus will let you on their boat.
