Omarsea is a living reef
01 June 2008 | Bonaire N.A.
After arriving in Bonaire we were struck by the tremendous diversity of fish life. Here you can see the school of Sergeant Majors that adopted the keel of the Omarsea as an artificial reef. We have to clean the hull of barnacles about once a week. The Angelfish and blue tangs crowd us as the bits and pieces of barnacle fall from our scrappers. We have been very fortunate in that a friend of ours gave us a copy of the local coral reef fish ID series. We are beginning the process of learning the more than 500 species of fish that live here just off the stern of the boat. Our goal is to learn as many as we can in the next month we will be here.
