Under the Sea

Grunt Fish Swarming
We have had the fortunate experience of snorkeling with Bill and Gaylel Plaia, both marine biologists with a passion for exploring the reefs. Their catamaranis named Spiralserpula. Spria is a sea worm and serpula is named after Gail and the research that she did on that topic.Let’s just say they have solid expertise in all creatures in the reefs. They have been snorkeling alongside of us, wearing weight belts and diving down deep, to point out the intricacies of the sponges, sea worms, coral buds and a plethora of fish and urchins. It has been a great learning experience.   Gayle shot these photos on our last outing. A picture is worth a thousand words.
