Day 3: Playa Blanca and Tuffy’s
Today we observed three reefs. First, we swam about a shallow reef known as Playa Blanca, where we saw many different fish and brittle stars. Then, we swam around patch corals in deeper waters. There we were able to dive down several feet to look into the coral’s crevices which house anemones and sea urchins. Last, we headed to our project site, Tuffy’s. There were many large Brain and Elkhorn corals there. We also familiarized ourselves with the area for our projects tomorrow.
