When I arrived in Jamaica three days ago I didn't really know how high to set my expectations, but I soon found out that they were not nearly high enough. Jan14th was my first day in Jamaica and my expectations were met with a group snorkel, which led me to see some elegant fish, coral and a variety of algae. It wasn't until last night that I made my way into the water for a night snorkel, which led me to see some unimaginable creatures that would go beyond my expectations. On last night's snorkel it was just me and my flashlight against the unknowns of the water. First jumping in it was mysterious because I could only see so far infront of me and everything else was dark. It wasn't until I started swimming out that I would realize that the water is a totally different place at night. My first spotting of the night was a pair of yellow stingray.

After following the one of the sting rays for a few minutes it led me to my next amazing discovery, a Peacock Flounder. Thankfully I was low enough to the bottom from following the sting ray to see a strange patern in the sand that got me curious enough to touch it. Once I poked this outlining in the sand it jumped out and swam showing its true self, a Peacock Flounder. After discovering these two species I really didn't know what more to expect so I continued on this mini-adventure only to find two crabs mating. This trip has really opened my eyes to the world and all of its inhabitants and I am glad to say that it is only day four of our trip which still leaves eleven more days and ten more nights with the WILD.
