The under water fauna of the Coco Island

If you have a bit of time, take a trip to Cocos Island, 250 miles away from the Pacific coast, a green island with rocky mountains and plenty of waterfalls. It is a real sea reserve, populated by 510 species of mollusc and some 300 species of fish. Considered one of the most untouched islands outside the Arctic, it is reputed to hold a life-sized Virgin Mary carved of pure gold which has never been found, but lies waiting somewhere in the heart of the island.
