Were you snorkeling with an underwater camera? Coral reefs are so spectacular and so important. Many of ours in Florida are being damaged, some irreparably by boats and trash...sad.
I think coral reefs are the most spectacular places but at the same time make me feel uncomfortable ... perhaps it is fear of stinging things in the water or that I am unfamiliar with the environment,
These are great photos for a disposable underwater camera. I finally bought a point-and-shoot camera that is waterproof at snorkeling depths (up to 3 meters). It worked so well that I won a photo contest with a close-up photo of the inside of an irridescent clam in the Cook Islands.
In Polynesia we were told that the coral reefs are endangered because the Japanese fishing boats over-fish the type of fish that eat the crown of thorns, and the crown of thorns are now so prevalent that they are eating and destroying the coral reefs.
