sea turtle

While snorkeling on our first day, just an hour or so after we arrived, we saw a sea turtle cruising around near the jetty.

 

I couldn't believe it at first, but as the week progressed i got used to looking down into the water just outside our bungalow and seeing awesome creatures - sea turtles (two lived in the area regularly), cuttlefish, barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, bamboo shark, blue-spotted fantail stingrays, a huge eagle ray, not too mention the various strata of fish schools, with the smallest fish congregating right by the beach in a foot of water, to the slightly bigger bait fish the circled endlessly in the hundreds under our bungalows, to the bigger preadtor fish (mostly small trevally) that hung out under the boat dock at the end ofthe jetty in about 15 feet of water.
