Wavelength pt 3

When Ben and I first swam away from the boat we couldn't see anything... we couldn't see the bottom and once we got a few feet away we couldn't even see the boat behind us. Ben was scared and clinging to me. After a few minutes of swimming, the reef came into view and Ben's eyes grew HUGE.

Huge boulder corals teemed with life:

Plate and staghorn corals lined the floor:

Creating an incredible underwater garden just feet below the surface of the water:

Almost all of the pictures on this page were taken by Ben!

He did. He had a great time with the camera. Ian took some video of the turtles... but because the water is so choppy the video is herky-jerky and nausea inducing.
