Coral World


Resembling a partially sunken building straight out of The Jetsons, the abandoned Coral World Underwater Observatory sits in Delaport Bay, just off Crystal Cay in Nassau, Bahamas. This intriguing structure completely captured my curiosity and inner urban explorer. I can’t help but wonder what it must have looked like in its prime, and what remains of it now. Are the inner workings flooded, or can you still observe the waters beneath the bay? It's a shame such a fascinating building has been left to decay. It would be incredible to see it repurposed or revitalized, though I say that with the understanding that hurricanes, which often wreak havoc on even the most well-planned projects, pose a real threat.

I agree, I wanted to go inside so bad.
