Hello again :biggrin: well due to me sprianing my ankle and dislocating my shoulder I wll not be able to go far out on the reef but so far I have been able to take some pics and provided thart my cheap underwater camera works I will post some when I get back.And Harvey no clownfish scares me:lol: Yesterday I was standing in about 5 feet of water watching a school of fish and than they freaked out and I found out why. A small shark swam within about 2 feet of me and than swam away and no I did not fill my short. I personly thought I would but it did not even bother me.:biggrin: Today I am going to a reef that I can walk to ( can't wear fins due to my ankle) will take some pics and keep you all updated. Oh yeh yesterday we were walking on the shore and came acrross a couple of little pools that the waves had caused during a wind storm and looking in the pools I found a juv. angle fish 1/4 inch Long! So cute! It was black with yellow stripes, I told my wife that I wanted to take him home but she wouldn't let me. :sad: Anywho having fun, talk to you all later! :mrgreen:

man some day i've got to go back =) but i'll never forget the shock of leaving in october and getting off the plain in staggering heat lol
I hope your feeling better. I didn't get to see much for reefs etc when iwas there but I did get to see dolphins.
Next time I want to see the orchid gardens and some marine life =)
The cruise ship was a blast too, but I did get sea sick one night. hehe

btw.. the pic is pretty small but it looks alot like the beach I went to at Antiqua (sp) =p Hubby and friends went jet skiing and I collected shells from the ocean. Man I've never felt the ocean so warm=)
