Coral World: Underwater Observatory




Coral World has a 3-story underwater observatory built off a short pier in the ocean. We walked across the pier, then down the circular staircase to the bottom. It was like snorkeling without getting wet – hundreds of brightly colored fish at all the windows, coral, anemones, sea urchins, etc. The next two levels up showed more fish, who preferred swimming around at a different level from those at the bottom. Caitlin didn’t go snorkeling with us, preferring to hang out on the beaches, so I bored her to tears by excitedly pointing at all the fish: “Oh, we saw that one, and that one, and one just like that!” Over and over. Poor Caitlin.
