St. Barths People, And The Beauty Above And Below The Water

Our vacation here on beautiful St. Barth is winding down now after a quiet and relaxing time spent on this beautiful island. We came back to St. Barth to show our support for the island, which was hit hard by hurricane Irma. It was a quiet week with less tourists than we usually see so I'm glad we returned to a place we love to show our solidarity with the people here. They appreciate our visit and told us so. For me in particular, this is my home away from home. A really nice second scuba dive of the day is the shallows North of Les Gros Islets, just inside the marine park closest to the mouth of Gustavia harbor. The area, which I have heard referred to as "The Aquarium," usually has great visibility and is rich in corals and teeming with life. Schools of tangs regularly swim by as you slowly make your way around the colorful reef. It's a relaxing way to off-gas excess nitrogen after a deeper first dive of the day.
