White coral and a red sea urchin

A chunk of white coral and a red sea urchin from a recent snorkeling trip off of Negril Jamaica. The coral formations around Jamaica are great and there is still quite a bot of life left in the reef here. Its hopeful we’ll be able to save it for the future generations of dive photography fans to enjoy. If not then here are some nice pics of what the reef used to look like in Jamaica.
