In July of 1994, Atlantis Submarine, Cancun, began construction of a Reef Ball (tm) double corridor composed of about 300 Reef, Pallet and Bay Balls (tm) with the primary intent of providing passengers with the opportunity to view the reef. Subsequently, Atlantis is planning an ecological project in Cancun and is considering Reef Ball (tm) reefs for their operations in Hawaii, Alaska and the Virgin Islands. The reef in Cancun is being studied by two marine biologists. The hurricane that hit Cancun in October did significant damage to the growth on the Reef Balls and even some of the natural reefs but Atlantis expects the Reef Balls to recover quickly and has already resumed submarine operations.
