My wife and I recently went to Jamaica. We stayed at the Secrets Wild Orchid resort in Montego Bay. It was an amazing trip that I would highly encourage everyone to take. I had the opportunity to experience some fish and ocean wildlife up close and personal, so I thought I'd share a few thousand pictures.
First, the resort. In this first picture, you can see the reefs sticking up from the ocean at low tide. These reefs were very small, as you can see, and were very close to shore.
There were these outcrops of rocks, turned into walking paths with Gazebos that perched just over each end of the reefs.
At low tide, the rocks surrounding these Gazebos were exposed, and you could actually walk on the rock at the bottom of the Gazebo, directly at the end of the reef. Having no idea what I would see, I was thrilled with what my wife and I found.
There were Sea Urchins everywhere...
A huge Bristleworm that was in a great hurry to get away from us:
Sea anemones:
A fish which I should know the name of, but it escapes me. Someone please identify this one for me:
I better break this up into multiple posts...
