Have you ever thought of attending an underwater party?Now your dream can come true at the Florida Underwater Music Festival. It is held in July every year. It takes place at Looe Key Reel （卢港珊瑚礁）. Looe Key Reel is part of the only living coral reef in North America.
"This festival is a way to celebrate the coral reef. We are looking for a balance between protection of the reef and public enjoyment, "said Bill Becker, the co-founder. "The more people realize what's down there, the more they're likely to protect it. "
Before the festival, a list of ocean songs have already been chosen. Waterproof（防水音箱）speakers are used during the festival. They are hung from boats floating above the reef. Music ispipedunderwater through those speakers. In fact, sound travels 4. 3 times faster through water than in the air. That makes the experience so special. People that attend the party jump into the water. Some are dressed up as mermaids, rock stars, or even SpongeBob. Others pretend to play different kinds of musical instruments underwater.
It is said that the sound is not loud, but very clear, and that the music can be felt through the body and not just through the ears.
