We dropped anchor here so that we could snorkel. I can't begin to describe the exciting tropical marine life that I was able to see. The sparkling clear, warm tropical water allowed me to swim among butterfly fish and numerous types of swordfish. Of all the reefs in the world those in South East Asia have the highest diversity. As you travel further from this point the biodiversity declines. Fore example, the reefs of the Caribbean have only a third of the species numbers that those of these Indonesian reefs enjoy. It's something special. The prime attraction is the vertical walls of the coral reef with spectacular colors of underwater paradise. I saw blues, purples, oranges and even browns that I've never seen on land.
