Picture
yourself over 100 miles from land, in
the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. At
times, the seas can be very unforgiving,
and the weather can turn foul in an
instant. But here, in the midst of this
unpredictable Gulf, lie three of the
most beautiful and wild places in all
the world. Manta rays, whale sharks,
coral heads bigger than cars, hundreds
of species of fish and invertebrates...
This place teems with life! |
