Snorkeling the wall

TONS of fishYesterday was a bit windy, so Pam didn’t want to head in the ocean. I decided to try the wall, a section of beach where there is very little easy access to ocean. It’s guarded by an army of pelicans, which can be quite vicious, you know!

Pelicans guard the wallI was rewarded with a spectacular display by the fish! I don’t even know what to call it. I’ll just let his movie say it all. (ADDING THIS NEXT DAY – I should mention that this group of fish went on and on, for well over a kilometer. We’ve seen bait balls like this before, just never this big!)

ParrotfishI’m also adding this brief movie from yesterday that Pam took of a stoplight parrotfish munching on some coral. It’s a fairly large fish, in the two foot range. If you have your sound on, you can even hear him crunching the coral.

  1. That was spectacular, amazing how many fish in a group, almost like they were showing off for your camera. Tomorrow Mike will be there and get to enjoy your holiday with you and gf. Thanks for the posts
