A beautiful under water world...

My friend Sarah and i had finished work and she really wanted to go snorkelling, i wasn't that botherd as i love the ocean, but i prefer to be on it and not IN it. But she told me to go for it and that it would be fun, im so glad i did.

Iv done some snorkelling in Kenya before, ther the water was much warmer. The reef in kenya was stunning, there were lots of parrot fish and as we snorkelled we carried out research on the number of and types of turtles which were in the area. I visited Kenya back in 2008, and cannot wait to return one day.

So i found myself hoisting up a wetsuit at the jetty near South Bay. We ended up having a wicked time. there were not as many fish around as we would have liked, but there were a few, it was just nice to be below the surface of the water. I really wanted to see an octopus but unfortunately we didnt come accross one. However we did see some beautiful paua shells glistening on the ocean floor.

There was a lot of kelp and marine vegetation which looked like an under water forest. It was silent and beautiful and i could have stayed there for longer. Im so glad i took the opportunity, we laughed so much. Sarah is a wicked wildlife photographer so she bought her underwater camera and capture the moment, the sun was shining, the sky was blue, it was so invigorating. It makes me realise that you will never do exciting things in life if you spend all your time just thinking about them. So say YES next time you're offered an exciting opportunity.
