A Perfectly Wonderful Day

Susan and David were going to scuba dive but decided that, since the waters were cold and they would have to wear heavy wet suits, they would rather snorkel.  We signed up for an early morning snorkeling trip with Gary's Dive Shop and took a fabulous tour around Christmas Island to the Esmerelda Bay and  Costa Bella areas.  The waters were a little too rough there so we backed down towards Martini and Aquarium Coves and had the most wonderful experiences.  Again, wish my camera could have done it justice.

I love that purple house on the Caracol!

Turkey vultures

Jellyfish

Caves

Sea Lions

A Fin Whale-2nd longest animal in the world (next to the Blue Whale)
Made my day!!!!!  It came right up next to the boat!


Can you see why it is named Aquarium Cove?

I wore a 7 mil suit which kept me unbelievably buoyant and warm!

Happy Susan

Susan snorkeled the whole way out to the point.

She paid for it by being stung by jellyfish.
