milford deep

Included in our cruise was a visit to ‘Milford Deep,’ an underwater observatory. We descended 10 meters of stairs, starting from a floating platform, and ended up in a room with 360-degree views of the sound, including gardens of endangered black coral – that’s what’s in the picture, even though it looks whitish. The gardens are on pulleys, so if the salinity gets too low from rain around the 10m mark, they drop the gardens down.
