On calm days we explored the water in the dinghy and found some incredible reefs.
One was Conch Cay Cut where we speared 3 huge lobsters, another off the beautiful beaches of Stocking Island on the Exuma Sound side just across from St. Francis Marina in 20 feet of water, the coral grew up to within 4 feet of surface, and the third favorite was a bit south, an elkhorn reef, about 100 feet by 100 feet, more elkhorn in one reef than I have ever seen.
Thanks to Alan Brown for the under water pictures!

the water was about 78 degrees and it didn't take long to chill. |

Elkhorn reef - In the calm shallow water it is easy to find
as the golden color illuminates the surface of the water |
