IMAGINE walking up to fluorescent green sea anemones, kneeling beside them, and capturing unforgettable photos.

Or tracking giant hermit crabs and starfish on foot, getting an up-close view of these fascinating creatures. (Remember, never touch or lift starfish out of the water – they’re too fragile to handle even a moment out of their aquatic environment.)
