Snorkeling, Reefs and Fish

The two days we were at Paradise Cove, we rented snorkel gear and went to see Deadman's Reef just about 100 yards off shore. And at low tide, which we were there for on our first visit, you could have just walked out to the reef. We were kind of disappointed to see that much of the reef, here and probably elsewhere too, was dead or dying. Small patches were trying to live on. But we did manage to see some pretty beautiful things, including lots of purple coral, colorful fish and one sting ray that I chased for a minute or so. We took two disposable underwater cameras with us to see if we could get any good shots. I have to say that I'm impressed with the pictures over all. They do have a bit of a grainy quality, but not too bad.
