Snorkel Day in Lac Bay

Stag horn coral (acropora cervicornis), which was once very plentiful on the island but is now very rare due to disease, hurricanes, and human interaction. 




A sting ray spotted in the bay.




Sea sponge.




Elk horn coral (acropora palmata) with a very defensive and territorial damselfish living inside.  




School of Blue Tang swimming through the reef.




White Spotted Filefish.




One of the few Queen Conch left living in Lac Bay.




Adult Sea Urchin (diadema antillarum).
