Seychelles National Park Snorkeling

They warned us that the water might be a little cloudy for snorkeling. But we were willing to go anyway. As it was a kind of a blustery rainy day we thought we  might as well be underwater. As far as I was concerned the snorkeling was fabulous. We saw variety of fish: a big flute fish, an eagle ray, some very vibrant striped fish, batfish and the greatest part of it all was a large school of Pompano. There was a big sailboat in the area that we were going to snorkel in but other than that we had it all to ourselves. We had a great swim then we got back in and headed north.

Our boat from the water 

As the sun would come out or hide, the water color changes dramatically 

These two pictures were taken from the same place just seconds apart 

This was taken from the boat

The water is so clear 

Bat fish 18 inches in diameter 

The pompanos blended perfectly with the surroundings

I the sun came out and the yellow popped 

This school was very calm. We swam right on top of them and they did not spook

Neon colors
