Here's a video of me following an eagle ray for a while over the reef flats. You can see that the reefs aren't great but aren't bad either. It is, of course, a reef flat and not the fore reef.

I finally went through all my videos and put together this consolidated video. Hope you enjoy!

Some neat tang action in there...

Thanks. I enjoyed that.
I snorkeld there as well. Many turtles there for sure.
Did you go to the reef, where the breakers were? I saw a basking shark there.

glad you liked.

No, I didn't make it out that far... looked about 1 km out, but maybe that's just what I convinced myself. Basking shark would have been worth the swim though!

Well, one yard at a time.
Seriously, though, it wash't that bad, the real challenge was to get across the "channel" that the boats use. Eyes above and ears below.
Also say a bunch of those eels that stick their bodies above the sand and then retract into their holes when you swim close.
