The resort had multiple snorkeling trips per day off the dock, and Jessica was amazing going right out into the ocean with us for her first snorkel. We snorkeled every day of the trip except the day we left. Some key 'finds' were a turtle, scary baracuda and a baby lion fish. Props to Bren for finding the lion fish! We also did a Conk and Sand Dollar snorkel and Adrian was the king of the deep pulling up a live conk. The cruise ended with the crew cleaning the conks (underwater they just look like rocks with a bunch of seaweed growing on them) and pulling out the giant snail part and making conk-salad for the ride home. Jess and I passed on the 'slug salad' and ate the plain pasta salad instead. Here is a shot of our conk, and one extra we brought home for Jerri and Brendan. And let's all be honest - nothing says 'family holiday' like yanking a live sea creature out of the ocean, eating it for lunch and then carting it home to become a lovely bookend on Jessica's bookcase.
