Central Caribbean Marine Institute- Week 1 Part 2

August 20, 2018 by Nicole Deck Leave a Comment

My first full day at CCMI. Enjoyed snorkeling on the coral reef right outside of CCMI. Amazing coral, beautiful fish, lobsters. I saw the most amazing fish, a juvenile yellowtail damselfish. It had a laterally flattened body, almost looked like an angel fish, with a dark blue body with bright white spots. The fish was only the size of a quarter, but caught my eye right away.

The sunset over the water was a moment I will never forget. Gil, a senior staff member, explained that the red haze seen over the water at sunset was dust blowing over from Africa.

Super excited to go scuba diving tomorrow!!!
