A couple of years ago I went on a Carnival cruise and went diving at Roatan. The dive op was AKR. The dive boat left their dock and traveled west for about 5 minutes then tied to a mooring ball. When we started the dive we went west from the boat.
The reef there was sort of a finger reef- channels running north and south between walls of reef.
I went down into one of the "valleys" and saw something I thought was unusual- to me at least. The bottom of the "valley" was covered with small round-ish rocks. It almost looked like a road. None of the other "valleys" had the rocks- they had a sand bottom.
What are those rocks? Why is the bottom there lined with them. It seems like I remember them being wall to wall, like a road through the reef.
