Under Water Pictures

We were blessed with several days of extraordinarily beautiful weather after days of rain, wind and clouds.  We were determined to take advantage of these days before the rain returns.  This morning we snorkeled off the rock shelf as the seas were especially calm and visibility better because of the sunshine. It is a great place to snorkel with lots of fish but taking pictures is a challenge because it is so deep. It was also our first try with the water proof case for our digital camera.  That worked well but the pictures weren't the best. We decided to try Half Moon Bay Resort at West End.



 I have included a picture of what it looked like last week during the rain and then today.  Quite a difference!  You wouldn't know it was the same place.

  Getting into the water is easy and the water is much shallower than where we are.  We snorkeled for a long distance and got some neat shots of fish and coral.

We want to plan a trip off of a dive boat.  We have talked to several of them and they are very  positive that they take in places where it is equally fun to snorkel or scuba. 

The reefs close to shore are subjected to so much traffic from cruise ship passengers, run off from the town and rainwater runoff that they suffer some clarity.  We also want to snorkel off the East end of the island where the water is still pristine and breathtakingly beautiful we are told.
