Snorkeling - part 1

We went snorkeling at Arnos Vale. This is really excellent - there are great corals. I saw a family of squid and got a quick picture of them. Also I saw a turtle (a small one, not a big leather back) there both times but of course I ran out of underwater film just before spotting it the first time. Next time!

Other fish I saw (it is teeming with fish!): BIG angel fish, parrot fish, trumpet fish and flat fish and masses of others.

I would say you will need to be a fairly strong swimmer as the water can be a bit rough; having said that I'm not talking about being Michael Phelps here!

The beach is very nice. To get there, go through the Arnos Vale hotel gate and surprisingly there is public parking in the grounds for beach access.

Note: sun beds from the hotel are TT$40 per day so you might want to take you own chairs or just lie on a towel..or pay up! We did.
