FIRST TIME SNORKELER!

HER: SAILING...........

SAILING....................
As an ocean lover.......... What can I say the view was FANTASTIC!

I have once scuba dived, but have never snorkeled before. I must confess I was a little nervous. Though, once I had all the gear on and my noodle floatie on hand I was ready to go. I was the last one to jump out of the boat, but it didn't take a lot to catch up with the others.

First try, it was great. I thought to myself: This is amazingly awesome...! Check that out...! All the fish and coral. Our guide had previously warned us of the creatures that live at sea and the chance that we might come upon some sharks...

SHARKS: Gigantic fish with pointy teeth.
Behaviour: Very well nature.
Warning: Please do not touch them due to harmful consequences.

So I was swimming along, ready to catch up with the rest of the group. And on passing some of my group members I hear "SNORKELER IN DANGER!" I found myself in the middle of the ocean and nobody really close to my location. I thought to myself, "It is me. I am in danger!" So, I grabbed my floatie and swam to the boat. I climbed up and removed my gear. There had been no real emergency, just a girl that had lost a fin and needed help finding it. After a few minutes of admiring the beautiful view of the ocean and a couple more finishing up my glass of water, I decided to give this activity a second chance.

This was for sure a unique activity. Definitely a must try!
