Up early to go snorkeling at Little Africa again because there was so much to see there and we didnt get to all of it. So as usual it was like riding a rollercoaster to the coral reefs yahoo!! We found the spot to anchor and Steve had to get out to set the anchor correctly so we would not drift. He was about 30 yards from me and i looked behind me and saw a large shark with a wide head but no nurse shark tail. I thought surely that is not a bull shark?! But i yelled out shark to Barry Andrea and Steve. It was about 7-8 ft i thought because it reached from coral reef to the next coral reef. Steve almost swallowed his snorkel when he came up and heard shark. Jaws disappeared into the coral reefs and we did not see it in the coral reefs as we snorkeled. Large schools of barracuda, a cool hogfish was in the coral,and as we swam along we saw so many pretty blue tangs and blue chromis,these fish are so blue they shine neon blue underwater. I am going to post a picture of the fish we saw while in the reefs. At times you would have to suck it in to prevent touching the coral with my fins. There was so much brain coral growing everywhere and it looked like huge round brains sitting on the ocean floor and little round brains all over old metal pieces in the ocean growing on coral reefs rocks etc. WE chased fish and videoed so many fish, it was just like being in an aquarium. We made it back to the beach where we had left our chairs and lunch and sat and enjoyed a great lunch with Barry and Andrea and once again we snorkeled the little troughs and ledges in front of the beach. We had been in the water for about an hour or so and i was about 15 ft behind Steve when i heard it yelling from under the water i poked my head up and saw him moving backward toward the beach at a high rate of speed yelling shark shark! I put my head back in and didnt see anything but i got out of the water. Steve showed me a video of a bullshark not 3-5 feet from him, It was following him through the water.
Captains log: When it gets quiet underwater and all the fish disappear look behind you!
