Snorkel Dorks

I'm proud of Miss O; she gamely agreed to a snorkeling trip even though I suspect she might have been a little scared by the whole prospect.

She did an awesome job. We chartered a trip with one of the local dive shops, and yesterday afternoon we headed out on the boat with a bunch of people planning to dive. We were the only two Snorkel Dorks. :-)

   

The first stop was quite deep, and filled with amazing coral reefs. Some of them were so huge I could reach down and touch them from where I was, on the very top of the water.

Liv swam next to me, holding my hand. Every time she saw something exciting she squealed and pointed. The giant stingray at the bottom was pretty darn cool, as was the dolphin we saw diving next to our boat as we headed to the second spot.

This spot was incredibly shallow and we got an impressively close look at all kinds of neat stuff - coral, some sort of live crustaceans walking themselves and their homes across the ocean floor, and an amazing amount of fish. We swam through at least four schools of fish.

It was absolutely beautiful; I could have stayed there all day looking at that otherworldly space under the water. And now, of course, I have a yen to learn how to dive. Maybe next time...
