I first snorkeled over it just to verify that I really wanted to do this! I saw nothing but colors of the rainbow painted on the walls. I was sure this was going to be a great dive! I listened to the briefing, hooked up my gear and jumped in. The sudden rush of water gushing through my wet suit got my adrenaline pumping! I was psyched. Mom and I were buddies and we ventured down the wall of brilliant coral colors, majestic caves with branches of black coral reaching out to grab you. The light rays pierced the water lighting up all it. It was more than a dream come true.
Captivated by all this, I felt my Mom*s fin push water my way. I looked up to see her go into a tunnel. I followed; but as we were going through, I got a little paranoid and backed out. I watched her come out the other side and she looked mesmerized. We continued down the reef and I got up the nerve to really LOOK out into the clear blue yonder; it wasn't scary. Actually, I saw two or three Black-tip reef sharks and nothing else.
