You have to see the picture. This is a new sport to me, I was introduced to it by a diver friend, he said that I would be amazed at what went on underneath the water, and boy was he right. Snorkeling is a great way to view the underwater world and all the wonders that it holds. I have snorkeled all around the Jervis Bay Marine Park on the south coast of NSW and got lost in its abundance of beautiful fish and plant life. To hover over rocks and watch tiny crabs trying to hide, fish feeding and baby sharks learning how to master their domain is a wonderful experience and every time has something different to observe.
Snorkeling is an unobtrusive way to view what lives in our oceans and waterways.
I always have my snorkeling gear in the car, to make use of when and if the opportunity arrives. I recently snorkeled at Hideaway Island, Port Vila. This was a rewarding snorkel as the fish are so brightly coloured, varied and very friendly. I saw Parrot fish that were quite large, very brightly coloured and just swam up to you and looked straight into the mask. The coral was varied and quite majestic.
