Sweet fish and nice pictures! How was the island looking? Has the vegetation recovered from last year's hurricane? Where did you stay? (Sorry for all of the questions

)

Thanks for the comments. The Island is re-growing, I noticed new leaves on the trees every day. We stayed @ Reef Club, which was about 75% restored at that time. I would say by next year the vegetation should be mostly recovered, @ the resort they replanted so you dont notice as much leaf-less trees.

The shallow reefs got hit the worst, you can notice some sand and corals laying in the sand. Still good diving. Snorkling in front of the resort was a little disappointing, although we chased around 3 sting rays for a while.

Yeah, there's not a lot of corral right in front of the reef club unless you go out pretty far. Good to hear that it's recovering well though!
