Oh man this post made me miss snorkeling so bad... But when looking at photos like these, I cannot help but imagine how beautiful and colorful the reefs must have been before they got bleached :( Quite heartbreaking to see them like this in so many different parts of the world these days. At least there still the fish, turtles and other creatures to make the place look more vivid.

Yeah.. it's still beautiful and I think a bit deeper where divers go is a bit more vivid. I do remember these amazing colorful reefs on TV as a kid and I've only seen a fraction of that in the real world. Hope with tourism being semi dead for awhile reefs recover a bit. I'm not sure tourism is the main issue bothering the sea waters though.. but you can't really fight the big polluters. We'll just be swimming in plastic and rubbish at some point.
Yeah, I don´t think that mass tourism was the main factor in this either. But fewer people around the reefs can surely give them some little extra chance to recover a bit...
