I learned at a beach sheltered by off shore reefs. Its important to learn the ocean. It has its wonders and its beauty, it can give you a lot of fun, but you can never completely trust it, you have to be aware of your surroundings and whats happening, all the time. Actually I prefer lake swimming, there is nothing that I am aware of that can get you in a lake: no sharks, sting rays, jelly fish, no rip tides, no sneaker waves. But still, in the ocean you can put on a dive mask and see really incredible beauty down there, or ride waves one way or another for hours on end.

Agree - in my early days of weak swimming ability I was frightened by the strength of sea currents taking me way along the beach from where I had started out and how powerless I felt even when no big waves were breaking over me.
Underwater views can be stunning and the Red Sea is well known.
Egyptian resorts are much visited but Israel gives National Park protection status to the coral reefs off Eilat and there I recall an endorsement from an Aussie to say it's as good as the Great Barrier Reef.

I have never been to Australia or the Great Barrier Reef but it must be awesome. I did have the very good fortune to go to Fiji once and did some snorkeling on its gorgeous reefs, the prettiest reefs I have seen. Yet some Aussie boys on the boat back to Nadi were quite unimpressed, they said the Fiji reefs didn't hold a candle to the Great Barrier Reef. That will be something to look forward to in some future trip, I guess.

Default It happens....

typical human morons destroying what beauty nature provides - and never to be replaced.
We even have wardens in African wild life reserves going out to purposely remove horns from rhinos so that there might be less slaughter of these poor animals
by poachers trying to satisfy the very lucrative oriental demand for their supposedly medicinal value.

LOL - no actual destruction that I am aware of but an endangered species I suggest - where we are heavily reliant on the divers and the wp guys now for their survival (having lost the swimmers to their high-tech. alternatives).
