Wonders of the Coral Reef
The wonders of the coral reef
As I stood there on the boat with my friend Kristy, they looked at each other, “you ready?” I asked, Kristen nodded, and we put on the rest of our scuba gear. I looked into the water, I could see the white sand at the bottom, crystal clear water, the dive master nodded, we submerged into the water, the cold water surrounded me, the dive master motioned us to the water. I was amazed by the beauty of the coral reef, so many different kinds of colorful fish swam by us, I swam around for a while.
