I'd like to be, under the sea in a .... garden in the sun. photos Elena

One of the unique features of Tablón Reef is the intense profusion of Gorgonian corals ( soft corals) that sway in the swell. This is a very shallow reef and one must tuck ones tummy in to glide over the fully carpeted ocean floor, so covered with life that there are only scattered patches of sand. It can also be viewed from the sides, where the water is deeper, stingrays and leopard rays are usually spotted here along the outside of this shallow reef.

I, personally, have never seen such a diverse variety of life under the sea, as there is in this sea garden, in every square foot of space! Crayola red, blue, green and yellow sponges, christmas tree worms, sea urchins and a juveline Queen Anglefish, baby lobsters... even a young turtle hangs out here.
