When we dive on South Florida reefs, we have an entirely different assortment of life from the usual seen in large Caribbean resort destinations. Coral reefs are what most divers have heard the most about, so when traveling divers visit South Florida, most are shocked to find something far more beautiful than simple hard corals. From Del Ray Beach and Boynton reef systems, North to Central Palm Beach and the enormous expanse of the Breakers Reef, an intensely colorful and flourishing environment exists, despite the lack of advertising revenue it provides to the print magazines. All this extra life has to live somewhere, and in this issue we will help you to pick out some of the "underwater homes" which much of the tiny, but spectacularly beautiful macro life resides in.
The photos in this issue were taken by Sandra Edwards of SFDJ, and Lynn Simmons of Splashdown Dive Charters in Boynton Beach. Lynn's photos were taken exclusively in Boynton, and Sandra's are from both Boynton Beach and the Breakers Reef (in the central Palm Beach area).

which will allow more comfortable reading of the SFDJ, but will also mean you
should stay occupied doing something else for a few minutes during the down
load.
