I wonder what we can see in this picture? - This is a picture of a person scuba diving at a coral reef. Lots of people love coral reefs

because of all the colours and the animals they see. Scuba divers need to take air to breathe in tanks on their backs. Animals in the sea breathe in different ways - some animals (like fish and sharks) use gills, while other animals (like turtles, whales and dolphins) have to swim to the surface

and stick their heads out occasionally to breathe.
