Damsel attacking me while snorkeling in Belize

Nice Pics!

We dove Hol Chan and snorkeled shark ray alley yesterday.

Was the current a killer? Last time we dove it the first half of the dive was work...the second half was easy.

The reef around Ambergris is not as good as the ones around the smaller islands like Half Moon.

There's a pic above that you're pointing at something. I guess I don't have a good monitor. What is it?

I meant to edit that pic and circle it. It’s a sand flounder. Blends in perfectly but if you look close you can make out it’s eyes on top and a fin on the side.

Yeah, that current was Narley, almost crawled on sea floor., nice and shallow though.

Were staying in San Pedro, so did around 10 local dives, caye caulker was good. Going to lighthouse tomorrow.

Those were some really cool pictures!

Lighthouse is good! Say hi to the ***** colony and land hermit crabs! LOL the censor edited the reference to the Red Footed ***** colony

This was just a couple of hundred yards from the dock at Lighthouse.

Here's a slow mo of me hand feeding a tarpon in Caye Caulker. These are 3-8 ft. long babies.

Ok, I see the flounder now. Cool.

Sweet video! I would like to try spearfishing one day.

I could touch the bottom easily in most spots but not everyone could.

Sweet! Ill be there tomorrow.

Our Dive Guide was spearing lion fish, actually pushing the shark out of the way to get it, then fed it to them.
They learn to fallow the person with the spear.
We just ate some for dinner @ Karabras

Small world, I just got back from a trip to Caye Caulker on the 4th and had an awesome time snorkeling and fishing. The Tarpon are quite something. Some locals told us that area is also the entrance to an underwater cave system beneath the Caye.

Yep same. We want to go back for that and lobster fest.

Nice pictures and videos! Would love a vacation like this...sadly we've discovered my husband gets extreme motion sickness, so no more cruises or snorkeling family vacations for me. We do fly to places and he does try to accommodate me by finding places where I can snorkel off the beach when possible.

Yeah there was a few of those on our boat. I felt bad for them.
