Captain Don's Habitat
We are always drawn to Captain Don’s Habitat. It’s just a short drive north of Kralendijk, lots of free parking, and an easy entry. Everything you can ask for in a snorkel spot.
The featured picture (at the top of the post) shows the gatekeeper, a large iguana who hangs around the pool area near the restaurant. He knows a good thing when he sees it!
One of the (many) things that makes Captain Don’s a great place to get in the ocean is the tarpons that hang around just under the restaurant. They are very large fish, with a protruding jaw that makes them seem quite nasty. But as you can see in the movie, they are quite shy, simply moving away if you get too close.
I told Pam I wasn’t going to take another picture of a Queen Angelfish, and as you can see, I’ve been true to my word. I was taking a picture of the snapper (no, really, I was) and the Queen Angel just photobombed the shot!
The visibility was quite good, but sometimes it was quite bad too. Weird that… so here is a shot of some bonefish. I dove down to take it, and they are not a fish that hangs around when you get close – they are a nervous fish.
This shot of a parrotfish is just so colorful, I felt it needed to be included! Yeah, yeah we’ve put up a million shots of this fish, but one more is ok right? I think it’s a great shot.
