Description: Taking my suggestion, Capt Ray let us dive the Breaker's Reef. I was really wondering how the reef survived the huricanes of 2004. Well the reef, sponges, corals and fish survived pretty well. It's not sandblasted like Jupiter area. There are still colors, big and small fish. There's also several hundred feet of 2" dia wire cable draped over the northern end of the reef. Pics to follow.
