I expect I'll be doing some snorkeling, too. I really enjoy the sea- it's like walking in the woods, except that the animals don't run away. Well, not all of them run away :) And you see some crazy stuff- a pile of squids floating by, colorful fish hanging out, funny crabs and such peeking out of holes, urchins waving their spiny, er, spines, etc etc. I particularly like being able to look underwater without having to jump up for air all the
time. I'm not a strong swimmer, and
that back-and-forth-for-air stuff wears me out! With a snorkel I can just paddle along, rest every now and then, and check out the underwater denizens. For me, it's a great way to spend an afternoon!
