Snorkeling

On the boat getting ready to snorkel





Proof I do more than take the pictures!



Noah and Dad swimming with the fishes!











This morning Thomas had his second and last dive. He is already talking about when he can get fully certified. He really enjoyed it!

We then took a boat out to a coral marine sanctuary about 15 minute ride away where the boat anchored and let us snorkel and paddle around for 2 hours. Really fun. Noah was a little freaked out by being surrounded by fish of all sizes. They clearly associate divers with food. He prefered to hang out on the boat. We talked him back into the water by convincing him just to swim without his mask. The "What you can't see can't frighten you" theory. Jon and Thomas discovered the edge of the reef-the big drop off. You could see large schools of fairly good size fish swimming around. Sophie snorkeled for awhile and then decided she liked just swimming better too. Lots of fun and an activity we will try again! (Pictures would have been better if I had an underwater camera!)
