Off we go out to the reef to indulge in a little snorkelling — see the fish, play with sharks, dodge the coral.
Can you see the octupus? It's right in the middle of the bunch of rocks.
Octopus again. Well camouflaged isn't it? The flipper gives some scale.
Our guide grabbed a shark and said, "Feel this!" We all had a feel. Wow! Sharks' skin is rough, not smooth and slippery like I was expecting.
The skin of manta rays, in comparison, is smooth and slimy. Sorry, there's no pictures of me feeling up a manta.
There's no shortage of fish on the reef.
Even more fish. They loved to cluster in the shade of the boat.
Our guide was a natural fish himself. Here he is emerging from a tunnel in the coral that he'd entered about 10m away. Obviously he does this routine for all the tourists.
Here we see Jean's back (you can almost see the tattoo) and our guide with the colourful pants.
Back to the mainland (?) of Caye Caulker. Our Belize/Guatemala guide, Lee Nicholson, sitting at the back of the boat.
