Manzamo, Part Two

We finally get under the water . . .

P1060699 Giant blue starfish and a ton of sea anemones.  Oh, and great visibility.

P1060718The textures of the coral were amazing.

P1060734A few new fish species, but none that wanted to be photographed.  A lot of familiar friends down there as well.

P1060735A clam puckers up nicely for its portrait.

P1060740The puffer didn’t really want to play.

P1060747Trying to get back in to shore to let Jake have his turn, I initially came up on the wrong beach.  Nice little hideaway though.

P1060752The days most spectacular, but slightly sad, find was this baby sea turtle trapped among the rocks on the beach.  (Logan was actually the one who stumbled across it.)  It was still alive but not looking too strong.  We released it into the water so maybe, hopefully, we were able to give it a chance to survive.     

P1060762Jake found another variety of puffer.

P1060779Nothing like a couple of nice Moorish idol to make you feel tropical.

  P1060705And a number of very large starfish to boot! 

All in all, a very good day!

  1. SO glad you convinced me to get myself under the water to see the beauty below the surface! And glad you were able to snorkel there - thanks for sharing.
    Love, Mom
