Snorkel Trip to the Outer Reef











Friday afternoon we were able to tag along when the visitor group went snorkeling. Our supervisor is good about giving us time off to participate when these opportunities arise so it was a good way to end the work week. The weather was calm and the water was very clear. I wear a 2mm wet suit and can stay in the water about an hour before I get chilled. The first two photos are Sailfin Tang, the third is a Spectacled Parrotfish about 2 feet long, and last is a Pencil Urchin. The Parrotfish eat coral and can be seen eating chunks of coral and defecating coral sand.
