Marine Life Identification


Went snorkeling after classes today to begin practicing fish, coral, coral diseases, and invertebrate identification. Saw a juvenile lion fish swimming around a hard coral. My identification of corals is very limited at the moment because we were just introduced to corals yesterday. With time and practice I will get better. Fun fact about lion fish: these are the only fish around Bonaire that can be spear fished; otherwise, there is no spear fishing in Bonaire.

Being underwater watching all the fish swim around is peaceful. No sound whatsoever. Exploring this whole new world underwater is amazing. I can't wait to start scuba diving tomorrow and getting to spend more time below the surface.
