360 underwater video: A Biorock artificial reef February 2, 2018

In April 2017, we built our third artificial Biorock ® reef on Gili Trawangan in Indonesia. After 8 months we returned to check it out and shot this 360° underwater video of it! Great to see it’s already becoming a part of the reef!

But we can do something to help: We built an artificial Biorock reef on Gili Trawangan, an Indonesian island paradise with heavily damaged corals. A submerged metal structure will be equipped with a special...
