We went snorkeling yesterday and swam all the way out to a group of rocks jutting out of the sea. The night before, since low tide is very very low, we had been stepping all over coral that had been out of our reach during the day. We saw all of that in detail and much more when we swam out to the rocks with our snorkeling equipment (pretty good masks, but really small sore fins - ouch!)

When we arrived out in the deeper parts of the bay, it was like swimming in an aquarium! There were all kinds of large and small tropical fish - angelfish, parrotfish, a pufferfish or two, and sometimes there are even sharks out that way though we didn’t see any.

Today, we’re taking a full day snorkeling trip by boat to the islands surrounding Phi Phi Don (where we’re staying right now.) It will no doubt be really cool to get a chance to see what sorts of animals are out in the deeper waters.
