Googles at it again with their photography! Although this time, they are taking pictures of the Great Barrier Reef off of Austrailia

Google SEAview: How users will soon be able to 'swim' underwater around the Great Barrier Reef

Users will be able to tour the World Heritage Site in Australia from the comfort of their own home

More than 50,000 photographs have been 'stitched' together to create a virtual dive 100 metres under the ocean's surface
Project forms part of the first comprehensive study of the composition and health of the coral reefs
Personally I think this is fantastic, alot of people have heard about the Reef, many have seen a few pictures but very small amount of people have really seen it in great detail. Yet Google is in the process of making version of street view, to work with tons of photos beneath the sea.

What are yours thoughts?
