| | We kayaked to this little island off Esperanza, on the south coast of Vieques. |
| | | The sunlight streamed through the water, onto flowing beds of colorful corals. |
|
| |
| |
| | A look above the water. The mini-island, and Puerto Rico in the background. |
| |
| | | Can you see the eel? Its yellow and black provide surprisingly good cover. |
|
| | Poking above the surface again. |
| | | See the coral through the surface? |
|
| | | A fuzzy pic of a sea slug. |
|
| |
| | At Secret Beach, the water was very clear. |
| |
| |
| | There were enormous fan corals there. |
| |
| |
| | this is some sort of goby. |
| | | He would shimmy under the sand... |
|
| | ...until only his head was showing. |
| | | Breaking the surface, looking back at Secret Beach. |
|
| |
| | | In the shallows, a school of cuttlefish. |
|
| | They were unperturbed by us. |
| | | And posed for the camera. |
|
| | From here on, it's pretty much all pictures of cuttlefish... |
| |
| |
| | They would turn pale when approached, presumably to match the color of the sand. |
| | | Left is natural color, right is pale. |
