SNORKELING NEAR PORT VILA

Today I took Dianne snorkeling off Iririki Island near Port Vila.

Frankly, the snorkeling in Fiji is MUCH better. The corals and reef fish are not as colorful. Having said that, I did find several Clown Fish (aka "NEMO") colonies, some with very large specimens.

I taught Dianne how to follow seashell "trails" in the sand.
When certain seashells move about under the sand they wind up leaving a trail which leads directly to their location.

I was able to find several different species of shells, all alive, which I promptly returned to their homes in the sea after showing them to Dianne.
