Snorkeling - Sea Snakes = Are They dangerous

DianaH · 11-05-2009, 09:30 PM

Hi - I followed a link from AubaLisa about snorkeling. They said they observed sea snakes. I too saw sea snakes when I last snorkeled at Arashi Beach and I bolted out of the water - are they poisoness? agressive? We are going Saturday and plan to go snorkeling at Catalina cove, etc. Any info is appreciated.

Thanks. Diana

Not aggressive unless provoked, more likely more afraid of you than you are of them.

I snorkel often in that location while in aruba.
Believe you me, if they posed a threat, i would not be there.
I am lotsa "talk" but when it comes to stuff like snakes, eels and stuff that makes one go eewww, i am a wimp.
