The Flats
You should never actually "touch" the reef, as it is a living, fragile organism.
Crossing the flats can be tricky at times as in a lot of places it is only 2 feet deep.
There are coral fronds & cactus like structures to swim around. But you have to
cross the flats to reach the open areas (the "pool").
I wore a life jacket which kept me high enough in the water. Close to shore,
are large
expanses of waving sea grass, (below).
The last 2 pics are taken at the shore (feeding bread to the fish).
