10 Beautiful Underwater Views From Google Street View

In honor of World Oceans Day, Google released 40 new coastal and underwater Street View tours from pristine areas around the world, including places like the Great Barrier Reef, Cook Islands, American Samoa, Bali and more. Not only do these images take us to places we may never get the chance to see in person, but they also highlight the marine ecosystems that exist there, shining a light on all that we need to protect and all that we have to lose if we don't take care of our oceans.
