The beauty of the ocean

The ocean, with its majestic beauty and mystery, is an indispensable part of our planet. It is not only a priceless resource but also an important part in sustaining life and balancing the climate.

Under the deep blue water, a magical world is hidden that can only be fully admired when jumping into the ocean. The coral reefs are brilliant in golden yellow, dreamy purple and emerald green, enchanting the eyes, where each branch of coral bends to the rhythm of the ocean. Schools of tiny fish play around the rocky sea, revealing countless miraculous survival stories. When visitors put on diving equipment, they seem to step into a vivid picture, where nature displays its wildest and purest beauty.

Let's explore the ocean through the photo series " The beauty of the ocean " by author trunghoian2001 . The photo series was taken by the author at Da Nang beach and submitted to the " Happy Vietnam 2025 " Award.

The ocean covers more than 70% of the Earth's surface, creating an endless, deep blue and attractive space.

Colorful coral reefs, with countless species of fish and other marine life, create a fascinating underwater world. Along with that, the waves crashing on the shore, the ebb and flow of the tides create a vivid and ever-changing natural picture.

The beauty of the ocean is created by the life of millions of marine species, from small species like bacteria and algae to large species like whales and sharks.

It can be seen that when sunlight shines on the water surface, it creates beautiful lighting effects, especially in shallow waters and in coral reefs.

The ocean still holds many secrets, deep waters, unknown creatures, creating curiosity and excitement for discovery.

This discovery activity not only brings a great experience but also contributes to the development of sustainable tourism economy: equipment rental services, professional guides, homestay accommodation and local cuisine. Let's cherish and protect the coral ecosystem throughout Vietnam's seas, so that the beauty of the ocean will last forever for future generations.
