Wow that's cool. I can't wait until the day we can have HD webcams streaming from the reef at all times. I would watch it obsessively.

I wish they would zoom on the mouse wheel, like other widely-publicised spherical photo viewers web pages. But hey, it's Australia, without risk of box jellyfish! w00t!
