This is the colorful view of underwater marine life from a glass bottom boat at Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park, Wandoor (29-km). By Road From Port Blair): This park is made up of open sea, creeks and fifteen small and large islands covering an area of 281.5-sq-kms. The nautilus like creature is possibly a lionfish between the corals upside down!

One can see mangrove forests along the creeks and magnificent tropical forests, beautiful beaches, fascinating coral reefs and schools of ornamental fish and marine life. Wandoor is the base to visit the islands in this park like Jolly Buoy and Redskin.

Glass bottom boats help to take a closer look at the coral colonies. This is a perfect place for Scuba Diving and Snorkeling.

Marine world and its vast life systems are alien to me, Subhash. Being a hillman, I have limited experience of the sea, so everything from the sea looks strange yet fascinating to me.
This picture of the immediate surroundings just below the boat is a mystery to me and someone has to tell me what I am looking at. I think one in the middle is some marine creature.
It is a colourful image which you have shot very well through glass.
Regards,
Ram

Like apiece of an art. Luckly I had a chance to visit the marine life little away from Andaman though I had forgotten the name of the island nearly one and half hour ride on speed boat from Port Blair.
