 The calm waters of the lagoon and a dinghy
beach rather than dinghy dock.
Most of the time the dinghies were tied up to the branches of the overhanging
trees. We could stand on the edge of the water here and watch fair sized sting rays come right up close.
Snorkelling was good in the lagoon, with good coral outcrops.
We were told that the best snorkelling was in the pass into and out of the
lagoon, but that was several miles away and a bit too far to go for our small
dinghy.
 Our best picture so far of Christmas tree
worms.
 An exquisite butterfly
fish
 Convict surgeonfish
 Unicorn fish under the boat - there was a shoal of
about 15
 Blue chromis, above and
below
  and of course, a nurse
shark.
