We have not been back to this reef for over 3 years
What a shame! The reef looked fantastic
No bleaching or Algae
Viz was anywhere from 80 to 100 feet of beautiful blue water
Water temp 85
The last time I was here the reef was scoured,colorless and sand blasted
The color has come back
Fish life was dense with multiple schools of varied fish
Plenty of sharks ,eagle rays and turtles
Will post pix later this evening

very nice pics, going to the Keys next month
Enjoy, been amazing lately
 
We were there on July 2016 and the reef looked scoured, colorless and sand blasted. We went back on August 2019 and it looked like it was coming back alive and lots of creatures all over the area. Glad you like it. Thank you for the pictures.
