ARTIFICIAL REEF 5 KB
KEVIN BARTRAM/The Daily News.A diver, nearly 100 feet below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico, inspects a cut on the leg of an abandoned offshore platform on Monday, June 27, 2005 in a video image transmitted from the diver's helmet. The platform's eight legs were cut to allow the top half to be removed and placed on the floor of the gulf to form an artificial reef.
