Is that true? all atolls are coral/sand/eroded rock. You should never walk on coral either...not nice to the little polyps. :) I'm not sure what you mean by "you can't dive off of them", but there are lots of places (reliable and individuals with private boats) who can take you out. Most of the good diving/snorkling is pretty far from shore, so a boat is a good idea. I had no problem with any of the places I went with. FUNFUNFUN
