Day 51 - Placencia (Sub-marine Special)

Well yesterday wasn't a bad day all told. A nice little boat ride to Silk Caye and then a wee swim with the fishes. And sharks. And Turtles and rays. I make no claims to being a great swimmer, nor do I know a lot about the stuff I ended up sharing my bit of sea with, but we all seemed to get along just fine, bobbing along, bobbing along on the bottom of the beautiful briny seaaaaaa. You get the picture anyway. It's one of those things you just don't get to do most places you go on holiday. And if you DO get to do it, there are precious few places you'll get the clarity of vision and wildlife diversity that you'll find in Belize. It always feels like a privilege to spend the day mucking around with these dudes. And yes, I threw up and gave them a spot of lunch to nibble on. My lunch point of fact.

 Yes? Can I help you?

We're going to need a bigger boat....

How can something so blobby be so graceful? Meanwhile, here's a turtle.

Members of the Tuna family I was told. Look, there's cousin Tiffany, and isn't that uncle Brian trying to get his fin away with Linda from next door?

 Dive dive dive! ....Shit! There's a shitting big stingray at 12 o clock!
