After a long swim to get out there, we finally found ourselves at the Coral Wonder. It was much like the Coral Gardens, full of fish and coral and so beautiful. As we had heard, there was more “plate” coral here, coral with a large, flat surface area that looks like a giant mushroom. The biggest difference, though, was how large this area was—it covered a lot of ground. As we snorkeled, some friends of ours had arrived but had gone way out beyond us. When we went to see them; we found it was even better out there!
People had told us that of the two areas (the Coral Gardens and the Coral Wonder), the Coral Gardens is better. I suspect they didn’t make it out far enough to see the best of the Coral Wonder. I think both are equally impressive (although Rich slightly prefers the Coral Gardens). -Cyndi
