Day 3: Playa Blanca and
Tuffy’s
Today we observed three reefs. First, we swam about a
shallow reef known as Playa Blanca, where we saw many different fish and
brittle stars. Then, we swam around patch corals in deeper waters.
There we were able to dive down several feet to look into the coral’s
crevices which house anemones and sea urchins. Last, we headed to our
project site, Tuffy’s. There were many large Brain and Elkhorn corals
there. We also familiarized ourselves with the area for our projects
tomorrow.
