Broughton Island - Esmeralda Cove

Esmeralda was a great spot to snorkel and the water was sooo warm. It was such a beautiful bay, the water colour was amazing and so clear. It was a bit dis-heartening to see large sections of white rock with little to no life on it. White rock is when long spine sea urchins eat all the kelp and reef until nothing is left and the once thriving kelp and fish covered reef is bare and Barron. We stabbed many sea urchins but need a longer knife on a pole for next time so we can get more without getting spikes in our hands.
We also caught a few Bonito which everyone knows are a trophy fish 😂Read more
