Exploring the coral reefs
Alex and I spent the past few days just swimming around the coral reefs. It is so beautiful underwater! We’ve seen some amazing butterflyfish and king angelfish. Yesterday, we saw a bright blue fish that I have never seen before; Alex said it’s called a “Blue Tang.” The coral reef is full of so many different types of fish. I wish I could make friends with all of them, but that would take years. There were also people snorkeling above us. They were wearing masks and breathing through tubes. (Alex said that’s the snorkel.)
I could spend many more days here just looking around the reef, but we want to head out to explore the open water. This area is called the Caribbean. There were many stories of pirate ships and other sailing ships that sank here a long time ago. Alex and I hope to find and explore some of these ships, and with any luck, we’ll make some new friends.
