Superb snorkelling - with no spiders whatsoever

I know I'm always banging on about scuba diving, and it really is quite an amazing experience, but you don't have to go through all the learning and lugging about of equipment to enjoy splashing about, sea creatures and beautiful reefs - the snorkelling here is pretty ace too, as my most recent visitors found out this weekend ...

A teenage turtle making a run for it ...

The ubiquitous grey moray

A porcupinefish (spikes in, so feeling happy!)

Either a banded sea snake or an eel that mimics it ...

By far my favourite of the lot though were the two cuttlefish we saw lurking - one clearly sulking and trying to blend with the surrounding coral, while the other one changed colour and opened up when we got near ...

You ain't seen me, right ...

Reminds me of the pimped up cars with the UV underlights ...

eating something? licking coral? or are those its 'bits'?

And of course when you're snorkelling, you still get to experience that strange sensation that all scuba divers have - feeling sleek and agile in the water like some kind of strange dolphin, when in fact you look like a bit of a tit ... the total loss of street cred and shame, what fun!

Sexy lady!

Hmm ... not quite the gorgeous mermaid ...
