We set out in the dinghy this morning to find a good spot to snorkel. The areas we thought might have potential turned out to be just grass so we ended up snorkeling around two small islands known as “Tug & Barge”. The tide was coming in and it took a lot of effort to swim against the current between the two islands.
Tug & Barge. You may notice the resemblance.
Fan coral.
Sponges.
Sea cucumber.
Nurse shark with sharksuckers on its back. I quickly swam back to the dinghy after seeing this, although nurse sharks are slow-moving bottom-dwellers and are not known to be aggressive.

Nurse sharks sound benign enough but I’d run too
