On Grand Cayman B.W.I. the Don Foster Dive center displays DuraReef (patent pending) both on land and undersea. On land, sculptural DuraReef creates a unique Caribbean ambience around the Don Fosters dive training pool. Near by, ocean scuba and free divers at Don Fosters look beyond the sculptural form, focusing instead on the myriads of marine dwellers that make functional DuraReef their home.
