uncategorized posts The Caribbean Sea became into being three to four million years ago. This is when the Greater Caribbean became isolated from the Pacific Ocean, after the closing of the Isthmus of Panama. Since then, it developed their own unique reef life, with about 65 species of hard corals and some 500 to 700 species of fish. My Caribbean snorkeling adventures gave me a colorful window into a surreal menagerie of marine life, such as, southern stingrays, green and hawksbill sea turtles, trumpetfish, wrasses, triggerfish, sergeant majors, snappers, grunts, groupers, eels, angelfish, sea urchins, sea horses, parrotfish, barracuda, sea anemones, nurse sharks and more.
