to the marine life of the area. Mmmhmm.

Thank you, Tooni.

So environmentalist Philippe Cousteau

wants to find out if the corals here are healthy,
想去看看这里的珊瑚是不是健康的
and one of the best ways to do that is to dive at night.
最好的办法的就是夜间渗水

and to try and...

they're not just rocks.

If you dive the same reef in the daytime,
如果你白天渗入
the same reef at night-time,
和夜间渗入同样的礁石
it's like diving on two completely separate different reefs.

NARRATOR:But diving at night can be hazardous.

just because you can't see your partner as well.

you could get even, you know, confused and turned around

about which direction is up.

So if you're running low on air, you don't have any lights...

You end up going in the wrong direction, and it's a bad thing.
最后你走错方向 那就麻烦了
NARRATOR:They have to prepare quickly for the dive.

In the tropics, night falls fast.

So, I need to get the night dive away right now.

Boats along side here and loads of activity.
