Coral Reef Pacific Ocean Equatorial Zone, a photo from California, West

Photographer's Note

The Pacific Ocean's 'Equatorial Zone' is a wonderland of flora & fauna underwater wherever the Pacific touches islands.

This is view is from the Long Beach Aquarium. As a boy, my Grandfather would take me to the Long Beach Pike Amusement Park and my favorite ride was the Diving Bell, going under water and seeing magical water animals. The Pike is gone, but the Aquarium is a magnificent replacement.
