Using the boat to create an artificial coral, reef is the best use of this boat after it’s usefulness as a tugboat is over.

Funny how people watch a video and become experts on a subject in an instant. And just because something is filmed or photographed it still only shows what you can see and that is a small fraction of the whole picture. Thanks for taking the time to educate people even if that brought a little backlash from the public. I'm sure you all love the ocean very much and want to preserve it for our future generations!

Great FAD, obviously. I watched this intensely to try to spot actual hard corals - I might have seen some patches of Fire Coral, but otherwise I'm not sure I saw any. If you dive again, having an eye to this most endangered and most valuable piece of Florida marine ecology would be great...

The coral most noticeable at this point are soft types. The stony corals grow considerably slower and are not as noticeable as of yet. There are likely some starts of Oculina type hard corals present.

My friend let me apresent to you artificial coral reefs these are reefs made by metal wood or such planned and authorized by the goverment made to give homes to fish that do not have a place to stay and also making new plants around it if you dont know and of the trash and plastic was taken off and only the vessel remains which means its not trash. And totally healthy for the fish.
