Our one big excursion for a day was a catamaran snorkel tour.
It was a fun day from 9am to 2pm......and we indulged and tried out SNUBA diving for the first time.
Snuba is a way to get below the surface of the water but not fully scuba dive. You are attached in pairs to rafts that float at the surface with oxygen tanks, and the cords allow you to go down 15 feet to get closer to the sea life below. It was so much fun and we would definitely do it again!
So half of the tour was SNUBA and we got a good amount of time to snorkel as well.
SNUBA instructor giving us our 10 minute crash course in hand signals, how to relieve the pressure in your ears underwater, and generally be safe using the tanks, etc.

Each day of our trip the weather was in the mid 80's and sunny!
What I looked like under water
TURTLE!!! We were up close and personal to the sea turtles (center shot above) They would regularly rest on the reef so that the small fish could clean their shells for them.

The view from our cabana on the beach in front of our hotel.
The Sheraton is situated at "Black Rock", which makes for great snorkel experience right off the beach. And everyone was jumping off the cliff all day long.
So Mike just had to join in on the cliff diving fun!
He jumped in with our sport waterproof camera attached to his chest, so we got fun video from that!
