Don't know if this belongs in this thread but it is "reef related" Kim and I just got back from the Bahamas and we did some snorkeling. We've also gone to Jamaica and done some snorkeling (I did a few 30' scuba dives) and we both loved it. Jamaica had better reefs but the Bahamas had better fish. I was a little disappointed because they seemed like mainly softy reefs with gorg's, seafans and brains.
So I've already started looking for the next vacation that won't be for a very long time (don't worry Kim ) and I was wondering where the closest SPS dominated reef's are? Are there even any in the Caribbean? I've heard through the travel agent when we booked the honeymoon in Jamaica that Curacao had some of the best reefs in the Caribbean and Negril Jamaica (where we went) had the second best but was cheaper.
I obv know about the great barrier reef but it's ungodly expensive just to fly there (not to mention it takes like 20+ hours and Kim and I are sooooooo nice to each other after traveling I think we'd kill each other after 20+ hours of traveling in a plane )
So does anyone have any input on this? Thanks a bunch...
