now I will tell about my previous snorkle experience....about 15 years ago, I signed up for a snorkle trip in the Bahamas...it was rough seas, but I went anyway...well they put us in the water, not much instructions, and I couldnt get a hang of it...swallowing more water than allowed, mask fogging up, breathing all wrong...then I start to get sick and blahhh, I let go of my lunch....the good thing is it is a great fish attractor, I had tropical fish all around me, but I felt so sick, I could not care...so I get back in the boat and rock so much that I am still queasy 2 days later...so no more snorkel for me until we start going to negril..well I bought gear and try it on a few trips to the 7 mile beach. I never get the hang of the breathing, and my mask always fog up...so when rina asked me to go snorkeling, I said I just wanted to go for a water taxi ride and take pics...
fast forward until now....we meet vincent at catcha, load up and we are off....
my girl rina kim
after we get to the reef, vincent gives us some tips...now I know why he is called FAMOUS Vincent...he talked me into snorkeling, rub some stuff on my mask to prevent fogging, show me how to breathe, and then he jumped in and snorkled with us, showing us seveeral different interesting items of sea life...he gave us all some bread, and off we went...we saw many of the beautiful blue and the yellow tropical fish, they were eating out of my hand....saw a huge manteray sting ray, saw and held a few HUGE sand dollars, and then he pointed out a gigantic sea turtle...at this point, I felt like I was in the "Finding Nemo" movie set, with all the colorful fish, and that sea turtle right there...it was right there, I felt like I could touch it...How freaking cool.....we snorkeled for about an hour or a likkle more, then headed back....
on the way back, we saw about 4 dolphins swimming and playing in front of the boat and then all of a sudden, they started swimming beside the boat, racing us....
couple pics of the dolphins
