The water in the lagoon is crystal clear but has a few less welcome guests …

These are black-tipped sharks around our bathing platform.  Actually quite harmless … or so they say!

This one seen passing under Hebe's bottom …

Diving was spectacular.

Hebe's resident photographer, Imogen Nash, chasing a manta ray.  (It may look small but was about 8ft wing tip to wing tip.)

Life in Suwarrow is not all water based - beach barbecues at dusk.  Fish caught a little earlier!

Bird Island was in the lagoon - Frigate bird chicks and mummy…..

Finally, this is a memorial to a New Zealander - Tom Neale - who put Suwarrow on the map.  He lived alone on the atoll for many years and wrote a charming book "An Island to Oneself".
