  1. My Dive in the Florida Reefs Story by Annette Lamb With photos from NOAA Library http://www.photolib.noaa.gov/reef/flovert.html

  2. Elkhorn Coral • After diving over the side of the boat, I swam toward the coral. The white-spotted filefish was swimming in the elkhorn coral.

  3. Moray eel • I swam around a tall grouping of coral and right into the face of a moray eel. • What a sight! His big blue eyes and huge mouth came right at me.

  4. Hawksbill Turtle • After my experience with the moray eel, I become more careful watching my surroundings. • I noticed a hawksbill turtle swimming toward me.

  5. Colorful Coral • Next, I turned my attention toward the beauty of the coral. I was amazed at the varied, bright colors of the sponge, coral, and searod around me.

  6. Life Everywhere • Everywhere I turned I saw exciting forms of life in all shapes and sizes such as the Atlantic trumpet triton and the cushion sea star.

  7. Back to Work • Although I had a great time exploring the coral kingdom, my partner reminded me that it was time to get back to work. • This adventure wasn’t just for fun, as marine biologists we had a job to do helping preserve this beautiful place.
