STILL SEAS 2012-08-03

The ocean seems very still today and guests’ snorkeling can be seen in the shallows, following small schools of fish and attractive coral trails along the ocean bed. Today is the sort of day that you would want to spend outdoors with someone close to you on an Island such as this one.

WHITE TIPPED SHARKS AND GREEN TURTLES 2012-08-01
