A leisurely, 100-yard swim brought is to the off-shore reef. We were looking for loose shells, unusual coral formations, flowering anemones, and brightly colored fish; we were looking out for sea spines, fine coral, moray eels, and unfriendly sharks. Jason had brought some bread crusts to entice the tiny reef fish, and Jen hoped that her can of cheese curls would attract some of the larger, hungry inhabitants. Dan and Joe had tucked some leftover chum in their pockets, just in case they saw a nosy squid or a scouting ray. Excited by the unexplored wonders of the reef and energized by the cool, clear, Caribbean waters, we skimmed along the shallower, in-shore edges of the reef. Jess and I poked contentedly at the buzzing population of colorful creatures hidden in the cracks and crevices of the craggy coral. Jen, Jason, Dan, and Joe had rounded the ocean side of the reef and were out of sight. However, a cloud of chum and crumbs, propelled by voluminous bubbles churned near the turn in the reef. It appeared to be a school of fish. Jess and I raced recklessly toward the troubled waters. As we rounded the reef, we discovered a mass of frenzied fish swarming around our friends.
