Swimming a Reef

Another boat in the Ha-ha has been here before so knows all the cool, cheap, things to do. So they got on the VHF and called all the Ha-ha kids and invited them to so snorkeling. My family said yes, as did four other boats.  Everyone started arriving at our boat at about 2:30 for some swimming on our mini island. One everyone was there we left for the reef. We were heading for a big rock called Seal Rock. Its not really a reef but it has amazing stuff growing on it and tons of wildlife. 
Once we got to the rock we had to anchor our dinghies. The surf was to big on the beach to pull up all our boats so we just dropped a couple dinghy anchors and rafted together. Then we jumped in and went swimming. At first we swam around the shore. The fish and coral was very impressive. Then we swam over to Seal Rock. It was incredible. There was a huge variety of fish and coral. The coral was the coolest. I spent half an hour diving down on the coral, then swimming up for air the going back down again. I love doing that. We are going to try to go back over today and check it out again. It really was a cool experience.
