Snorkeling
11/2001
At cemetery reef, there were some healthy
coral heads 200yds out, saw a 4' nurse shark and a nice sized eagle ray
but I had loaded drained batteries and so didn't get any pics that time.
We did a cool nighttime snorkel there too and saw lobsters, cardinal fish,
made the plankton glow, but didn't take the camera though. All the
nearby coral is there is dead but still shelters lots of fish.
The kids really enjoyed the snorkeling at Eden Rock where we saw lots of
stuff and the depth varies from 10 to 40'. I somehow loaded my
camera in the case so that the on/off control did not engage properly so
didn't get any pics there. Always check on/off functionality before
you get it wet.
Then we snorkeled a few times in front of London House. Coral heads
at 200 yds are dead but shelter lots of fish, some big lobsters, and found
a good sized octopus. We snorkeled on out about 400 yds with my dive
flag float where we found healthy coral and lots of fish.
A few rays, turtles, and the lone barracuda also kept us company.
Wanted to do a night snorkel to look for the octopus and lobster out in
the open but we didn't get to it. Oh well, here are the best pics.
