Dive to the Coral Reefs

LeVar is inspired by the book to learn more about the world of coral reefs, so he dons diving gear and gives viewers a tour of the National Marine Sanctuary, an underwater park in Florida. Viewers also meet a "reef doctor" who shows how he restores life to damaged reefs by transplanting living coral.
