Thunderball Grotto is the main snorkelling site here and was used in the 1964 James Bond film of the same name.  This was our first real attempt at using the underwater camera - it takes quite a bit of practice, so these are the best photos we have.  The grotto was teaming with fish at the entrance, and once you went in it was a huge cave, open to the sky in places - truly stunning!  The best thing was that we timed it just right so there was just the four of us - we have seen 3 and 4 boats tied to the mooring!
