Snorkelling snippets
CREATURE FEATURE
by Liz Allen
Snorkelling is beautiful now that the water is about 22 degrees C, so for those of you who don’t venture into this fascinating underwater world here is a small selection of some of the sights we see – it is quite addictive!
Thank you to Libby & Rick for some of the photos.
We’d welcome others to add to the gallery. Record your sightings on NatureMapr and send us an email alert - we'll do the rest!
