Snorkeling in Style

There’s nothing quite like stepping down to the bottom deck of your own bungalow and then climbing down the ladder into exceptionally warm water.

Most of the water is less than shoulder deep, so we can alternate between paddling and walking along the sandy bottom. We saw quite a number of little fish and some interesting coral formations. These needle fish are among the shyer ones...







One funny little incident: The maid knocked on the door as we were getting ready to go and we told her that we’d be going into the water within five minutes. When we returned an hour later, the room was clean and our patio door was locked. She’d overlooked the fact that we were out snorkeling. We explained our problem to a couple walking by on the main deck (not accessible from the back decks) and the maid must have been nearby because she came running to open the door within a couple of minutes, full of apologies. Next time we’ll leave a note on the patio door.

We’re relaxing during the heat of the day for and will head back into the water in awhile. Lots more to see…
