<< Moonset and Sunrise at Ningaloo Reef

09/02/24 - Snorkeling at Ningaloo Reef

We hadn't snorkeled in ages, but we had come all this way to Ningaloo Reef to see the reef. We were out of practice. We put our wet suits on backwards and worried about the bad fit. Luckily, one of the guides caught this. We put on our masks and flippers. We headed out into the water and were pleased to discover that we still understood the basics of how to swim. Flippers compensate for a lot.

The reef was beautiful. It wasn't as dramatic as the Great Coral Reef we had explored decades ago, but there were all sorts corals and fish. We even saw a couple of sea turtles. We sloshed around enthusiastically. The underwater camera that had been a birthday gift years ago was pressed into service and performed well.
