We literally stole upon the coral gardens as did the dawn upon the bay. There, beauty lay, spread & hung in three breathtaking dimensions. The coral terraces rose from indigo blue depths to the surface; with lens-like clarity, the water magnified the brilliant riot of colour, & enhanced it; every delicate, geometrically perfect formation, - played with it. Hidden grottoes swallowed up fully sized parrot fish & exhuded them magically by other exits. Closer to the surface midget 'blue' fish glinted in the sun. Phosphorescent blue forms the size of a pea glowed as they drifted with the deep water current. Inside this protective barrier are the sleepy lagoons, with its soothing warm waters. It's here you find blue & rare starfish, bech de mere & more fish. An hour of this beauty & then comes the first puffs of the trade winds. By noon the placid dawn reef edge is smothered & pounded with ocean rollers
