Interesting short article on the reef recovery at Bikini Atoll

Bikini Atoll is at the top of my dream dive destinations list. I believe they allow only 12 divers at a time on the atoll and you stay at the old barracks. There are a bunch of historic ships there that were sunk when they tested the bomb there. I want to dive on the aircraft carrier Saratoga that sits upright in the lagoon. I'm glad to hear that the reef is coming back.

Aritcle is interesting; the replies are better.

 

I wish they had some pics of the current reef.

The reef may be coming back but the article said there were a lot of corals that didn't some back.
