I've been told that the primary snorkeling spot here at Marine Beach is actually an old bomb crater from WWII.
Nice, clear, refreshing water!
Oops! I accidentally pressed the "RECORD" button on my camera. Keeping that in mind, I think you'll find this video entertaining.
Tide was lower than what I have ever seen at Marine Beach. This created a sun-heated basin with water a few inches deep. I think it must be due to the temperature that critters such as these brittle stars (which usually stay hidden in holes) came out all around us.
Here, in the second pool, Olga and Ludmila find a lionfish!
So THAT'S how you snorkel! Lie down on the ground and peer in. Definitely works for this small hole.
And on to the next attraction....
Every other time I have been here there has been a ripping current in this swimming hole. On this day, with the tide so low that waves were not splashing over the reef, current was nearly nil and it was a very safe and fun spot.
And, of course Bev: We made sure that Boris and Udmila knew that this was YOUR pool!
