I swam next to a baracuda and it was astonishing to see it just stay still but as soon as I got my net to capture it , it ran as fast as a bullet.
As I have said earlier, I snorkel all around the island for all sorts of fish for our aquarium and thank God I never ran into a shark. I would love to swim with a turtle but not yet have I. A dolphin yes and that was exciting. If any of you are interested in snorkeling in afternoon to net fish let me know, I could use the help. It is relaxing and an underwater adventure.....
