First I need to announce my disappointment in disposable underwater cameras. Let's just say all the fabulous shots of underwater creatures I thought I'd captured just didn't come out quite as I'd hoped.
I spotted this very interesting under-water creature multiple times during our snorkeling adventures.
1. In Belize this underwater sports is called "snarkeling."
2. Belize has one of the largest reefs in the world.
3. We truly snorkeled among numerous, very large nurse sharks and sting rays without losing any appendages.
We took a catamaran to many popular 'snarkeling' locales and Caye Caulker. There were only 6 of us and it was quite possibly my favorite expedition (tied with cave tubing). Our captain Selvin was quite fabulous. He even allowed Marty to sail (anyone else noticing a recurring theme involving Marty driving vehicles he has no training to navigate?) We enjoyed cokes, fantas, fresh mangos and the most delicious salsa imaginable. The only negative about the trip was Selvin's co-captain who was extremely rude and spent most of the trip asleep on our belongings.
We traveled (and by travelled I mean took a boat on the ocean for about 1.5 hours, then another 20 minutes up a river, then a 2 hour bus ride) to the San Ignacio area on the mainland. Once there we saw a mayan ruin (note: I did not document any of our ruin adventures most likely related to my lack of interest in ruins. If you've seen one mayan ruin, you've seen them all). Moving on--we tubed through a large, very dark cave. There are multiple caves in which a river runs through--one guide told us you could spend 8 hours going through them all. Though the pictures certainly don't do it justice it was incredible.

I am so glad that you got photos of both of you underwater. They are keepers for sure.
I love snorkeling. I hope to one day try it in Belize! Looks amazing.
sometimes i think the only reason you have a blog is so that you may poke fun of your husband.
