Underwater 'Seaview' lets you explore coral reef

An underwater variant of the Google Street View service will from today begin giving web users an unprecedented photographic tour of Australia's Great Barrier Reef – and another reef in Bermuda will soon be getting similar treatment.

Called the Catlin Seaview Survey, the project is a joint venture between Google, the University of Queensland and their sponsor, a multinational insurance firm called the Catlin Group.
