An activity that I
have always enjoyed doing but never think to mention it when one asks what I
enjoy doing…is snorkelling. I have snorkelled in a few different places around
Australia (first place ever was Rosebud, Victoria), Port Douglas – Cairns,
Great Keppel Island (off Yepoon), Phi Phi Island-Thailand, the Whitsundays
(Queensland), N’ukalofa-Tonga, and Fijian Islands. While on Mana Island, we
snorkelled at Dream Beach and Ratu Kina. My 12 year old was enrolled in a
Diving Course – an intense program of theory and practical with the final
outcome – a licensed diver! Already he has seen a reef shark and a turtle and
many, many other types of fish.
I wonder what the
fish think when they see us coming along wearing the weird looking apparatus
attached to our face and bodies with the possibility of also flashing a camera at
them to capture the best shot.
It’s so quiet under the water and
serene. Sometimes the fish appear to be looking at us and almost posing for the
photo.
