I took several hundred photos of our snorkeling experience in the Great Barrier Reef off Michaelmas Cay.
The water was VERY warm and the color extraordinary!
Jerry and I spent 4 hours with our faces in the water and came out very wrinkled!
I don't know the name of this fish. It looks transparent but it's just reflection of the underwater color.
There were several dozen of these guys swimming in circles around me!
Glad they weren't sharks!
My husband saw a quite large white tipped reef shark cruise by...
no encounter...just cruisin'.
This is one of the many species of Parrot Fish in these waters.
This guy was so much prettier than this image reveals.
He is a lovely yellow dotted with teal spots on his body and stripes on his tail.
Awesome color...
she is invading my territory!
I rented a very nice Canon underwater camera for A$50!
I must say...I have got to get my own!

Lovely! We have Mother Nature's Fish Bowl just two hours south from our home in Manila so we do a fair amount of snorkeling (used to dive, too, but got tired of the work involved). I've often thought it would be cool to have an underwater camera...
Oh, nice shots Carolyn! You make me trigger happy for an under water snappy too.
Sorry for all the comments, but I am catching up on my reader from taking a break over Christmas. Love these photos!
